Thanks for taking the time to write this, I feel like I'm always seen the excitement of new users and appreciate some criticism from a veteran. I've been considering LiveView for a real time application I need to make, but haven't been sure whether it's worth the effort of learning Elixir.

For a real time application, there is no better option than elixir and phoenix if you actually want to get something working and shipped. Things that you will need to do which would be wildly complex in other stacks are so simple in erlang and elixir. I highly recommend taking the time to learn it - and it's a fairly simple language so that process should go pretty quickly. The debate about Liveview vs React+Phoenix channels is an exercise left up to the reader.
