I'm one of those fanboys. I've done the react, angular etc front end thing. LiveView just absolutely smokes SPAs and other JS rats-nests in terms of productivity, performance and deployment simplicity (for certain types of apps). The fact that you don't have to write 6 layers of data layer abstraction alone is worth it.
And don't get me wrong, I even like things like Nuxt and have a few products on Astro (great framework btw). Agree regarding browser automation, not many options there so your gig is safe for now. But do play with LiveView, it's pretty special.
- dataviz1000 2y agoI'm going to agree with you that Elixir / Erlang is the most productive and will back it up with some data; elixir developers are the highest paid because they generate the most value. [0] Nonetheless, LiveView isn't a viable solution for a lot of what I do. Because of that, it is important to have developers who know and understand how to use JavaScript.

- cpursley 2y agoNevermind, folks - I retract my comments. Elixir is terrible, don't learn it, the market is saturated ;)
