nerves VS live_svelte

The nerves package's README.md explains what each repository is responsible for with a comprehensive listing.

You may be already aware of it, but just in case, there is the Nerves project: https://nerves-project.org/

As for embedded... I've only dabbled. Yeah you're not going to run Elixir on an Arduino or other very minimal bare metal embedded processor. But the Nerves Project (https://nerves-project.org/) which runs Elixir directly on SBCs is very well regarded. But either way it doesn't matter, since I thought we were talking about web dev, which is where Phoenix and Elixir just make more sense, for me.

For me particularly I like it for things like APIs, Web Platforms (lower resource usage than other languages), and embedded devices via Nerves. However I've also used it on my endpoints to monitor them via Erlang's built in os_mon. Another usage is the distributed nature of erlang can allow you to do things like connect two nodes and run code on a remote node via remote procedure calls. This would allow you to execute something in a nearby geolocated node and reduce latency. Fly.io did a talk on this feature.

Check out nerves, a set of tools and libraries for embedded development with Elixir.

Is this kinda like the Nerves approach but for Golang? (https://github.com/nerves-project/nerves)

Nerves is also popular for embedded.

Bun is an executable as far as I understand. Would it be possible to call Bun code directly from another language with bindings?

For example Erlang (and Elixir) has Native Implemented Functions[0] (NIF) where you can call native code directly from Erlang. Elixir has the zigler[1] project where you can call Zig code directly from Elixir.

Maybe you can see where I'm going with this, but it would be super cool to have the ability to call Javascript code from within Elixir. Especially when it comes to code that should be called on the server and client. I'm the developer of LiveSvelte[2] where we use Node to do SSR but it's quite slow atm, and would be very cool to use Bun for something like this.

In any case Bun is super impressive, keep it up!

For very high degree of interactivity I've been working on LiveSvelte which might solve that issue for you. Your other points still stand though.

https://github.com/woutdp/live_svelte

I've been working on LiveSvelte[0] which might answer this in the LiveView example. It integrates LiveView with Svelte and has SSR support by calling Node from within Elixir, I wouldn't call it unholy, it's quite nice :)

Routing is fully handled by Phoenix, and you can get quite fast page transitions with Live Navigation Events. It's just that whenever you need complex frontend state you can offload it to Svelte, while still maintaining that backend interopability, in this case with E2E reactivity.

What's also really nice is that LiveView and Svelte are both very declarative in the way they handle the 'view' layer. And so they map really well onto eachother.

I also wrote a blogpost[1] on the topic.
