alt Hacker NewsThis is all well and good but Elixir with Phoenix and Liveview is super bloated and you have to have a real reason to buy into such a monster that you couldn't do with a simpler stack.

Interesting take. I’m an Elixir fanboy because I find LiveView to be very slim. You’re just sending state diffs over WebSocket and updating the DOM with MorphDOM. The simplicity is incomparable to state of the art with JavaScript frameworks in my humble opinion.

I'm not sure I agree with the "bloated" description, but I will say that I really like Elixir, and really dislike LiveView. Which is a shame, because the latter is pretty inescapable in Elixir world these days.
