LiveView and Elixir combine to in my opinion to make the only platform that's enjoyable for front end and backend developers.

Front-end developers love the LiveView model with functional components, no state, and light node.js dependency.

Backend developers get a process/actor + OTP supervision tree that's second to none. Horizontally scalable, functional, and pretty simple at its core.

Fullstack developers get to transition seamlessly.

I've really enjoyed using it while building.

Pedantic but just for drive-by readers, there isn't really any nodejs dependency. You can use it to manage JS dependencies, or you can forgo it for "vendoring" with esbuild (or bun, etc).

Liveview itself has a small JS component that is mostly transparent (socket.connect() basically). You can of course add more JS too it.

Was going to comment the same. I haven't had to touch node or npm in a year or so.
