Whenever these threads pop up I always ask: is there an erlang/elixir implementation anyone knows about? I check every couple of months and come up empty (there is one closed source one.) Being able to speak WebRTC natively to a Elixir/Phoenix cluster would be a pretty killer app, but the hurdle to get there is quite high.

In terms of communications between client and server, I'm not sure what you get with WebRTC that you don't get with websockets? What's your intended application?
For game-related use cases, we need to be able to specify which data is reliable and which isn't. Websockets use TCP which doesn't give you that control.
Yep, also I’d like to be able to transfer voice/video through the erlang cluster
