Comments like this push people away from Erlang rather than draw them in.

Understanding LiveViews as a concept could make it easier to commit to learning a new language. I am not saying one should but that one could and it would probably be easier since you don't have the additional overhead of also learnin

I think it is more exciting and more innovative to think about LiveView as a new architectural approach to building reactive applications. Yes in Elixir land it is a Process and there are some amazing things about the BEAM. But LiveViews ha

There is a port of it to JavaScript/Typescript. https://LiveViewJS.com It uses the same front end javascript from Phoenix and speaks the same protocol. Note: am author

LiveViewJS[1] might be of interest. Same protocol as Phoenix LiveView with a JS/TS server implementation. I was looking for something else after years in React ecosystem and came across Phoenix LiveView but I wanted to write in Typescr

Cool. We went with re-using/adopting Phoenix's because it is battle-tested and allowed us to not have to rebuild/find edge cases on browser event handling and DOM morphing and optimizing diffs. If you ever want a walk throu

Great to see another language adopting LiveView! (Author of LiveViewJS[1] here). Are you using Phoenix’s javascript client (and protocol) or rolling your own? [1] - http://LiveViewJS.com

If you are looking for server-side rendering that enables rich, react-like user experiences, check out LiveViewJS ( http://liveviewjs.com ). Supports both Deno and Node runtimes. (Full disclosure: am author)

I haven’t written Java or Kotlin in years but this makes me want to try it again. Nice work!

Curious how a string drive would perform on a mountain bike especially considering climbing advantages and easier shifting?

Hey thanks aloukissas! > what would be the use for this Ideally, to write LiveView applications in Typescript. :) This is early in development but as I mentioned above I think there are server technologies like DynamoDB and Redis that I

I have not tried Deno and not my highest priority. I've added to the issues in Github. If you try it, would be great to update that issue with your results!

Well they did say "JS is ass". Happy to give them them the benefit of the doubt but I appreciate more obvious supportive commentary.

Very cool. I noticed you are writing your own client libraries? Curious if you've tried using the Phoenix client libraries? LiveViewJS uses the same libraries as a Phoenix LiveView app on the front-end. I'll join your discord a

I'd highly recommend Pragmatic Studio's Phoenix LiveView Course - https://pragmaticstudio.com/phoenix-liveview I wrote LiveViewJS while taking this course believe it or not.

Sounds like you've got some pretty good experience with both Typescript and Elixir. LiveViewJS could definitely benefit from that type of experience if you'd be interested in helping? I am definitely not an Elixir / Phoenix

Hi flessner - I am a big Svelte fan myself! (And prefer JS/TS over Elixir.) Would love to see what you come up with in terms of fusing LiveViewJS / Svelte concepts. LMK if I can be helpful.

I can see you are angry and don't like JS. Perhaps you might be less angry if you look at the project and see that it is not an SPA architecture nor does it require or encourage client-side coding in general? Maybe instead of shaking

Agreed on both fronts! I think there could be any number of different back-ends for Phoenix apps not just Elixir (Phoenix) and Typescript (LiveViewJS). One insight I had as I was building this is that Phoenix apps are actually based on a

Agree that BEAM is great and very scalable. I guess I disagree with the notion that Redis and DynamoDB are "centralized" and "brittle". Rather both are distributed, robust, and, I would add, battle-tested. I do like th

Gotcha. I read the README and it wasn't clear to me that this is how Caldera works. Sorry about that. I'll add that the API for implementing components in LiveViewJS follows the Phoenix API (mount => handleParams => handle

Thanks for checking it out searchableguy. Tbh, I haven't run any performance/scaling tests just yet. :) I certainly don't expect it to be as performant or scale as well as BEAM right now and agree with your point that BEAM

Cool. LiveViewJS (and Phoenix LiveView) renders the initial HTML over HTTP but then connect to the server via a persistent web socket connection. Client events (clicks, form updates, blur/focus events, key events, etc) are then sent
