Exciting work is happening in all of these areas...

How about numerical computing / machine learning: https://github.com/elixir-nx/nx/tree/main/nx

Embedded: "yes there's Nerves". Exactly?

I think you may be looking for this neat library: https://github.com/elixir-desktop/desktop

Although to be honest it boggles my that it's possible to accomplish this on iOS.

One option might be to use something like this - https://github.com/elixir-desktop/desktop - and create an executable that can be downloaded and would work offline (the Phoenix server would run inside the application itself, but would not require an internet connection).

We are trying to see what elixir deskop has to offer in terms of mobile application.. we heard that with elixir desktop you can build mobile apps for both android and ios.. so basically iam just trying to gain some information on how it works.. what are the possibilities or limitations.. otherwise Primarily I build mobile apps using native kotlin or flutter sometimes..

But if your goal is to develop a purely client side app with elixir, I'm afraid that the only option may be to wait for [elixir-desktop](https://github.com/elixir-desktop/desktop) to mature.

There is this new project https://github.com/elixir-desktop/desktop

There are details on this also: https://github.com/GetFirefly/firefly#runtime

Generally it should be assumed that actors and their concurrency model is fully supported as that is a part of the core semantics for BEAM languages.

I think this project used to be called Lumen until pretty recently - https://github.com/GetFirefly/firefly

Probably not a practical solution for what you are building now, but it's worth pointing out Lumen, an Erlang VM implementation that compiles to WebAssembly, and could one day enable Elixir on the frontend.

Another vector could be some tooling that makes it easy to run Go programs compiled to Wasm run inside of Wasmtime environment hosted in Rust. If we run the go tooling in the same system, one could point this tool at a Go repo and be running that Go in a matter of milliseconds. A fun feature would be running channels across separate Wasm envs. Or maybe use Lumen.

Wish the Elixir WASM project -- Lumen -- were active. It seems like nothing much is happening on it.
