And Phoenix/Elixir has LiveView, also excellent.

I recommend looking at Phoenix LiveView. It’s still early, but it’s a revelation in terms of eliminating pointless, complex JS.

Neat! How does this compare to Phoenix/LiveView? Is it similar in principle?

Elixir/Phoenix’s new LiveView seems to really hit this sweet spot
