Elixir is very cool, if I only had more time I'd be digging into it more!

I am playing now with it, and I am loving Live View :)

It seems that you work in embed systems, so you must already know the Nerves Project?

I have indeed! While I do have a few Raspberry Pis, I would like to see if I can get it running on some other boards...NXP makes some ARM Cortex A7 microcontrollers that should have enough memory to run this, and the Nvidia Jetson is another candidate. It will be quite an adventure porting it to a new platform, but I will definitely learn a lot!

Did not know about live view, very cool! I haven't played around with the web framework at all, but it looks really cool.

In the words of Joe Armstrong, anything have enough memory to run Erlang/Elixir/Nerves, and this his because Erlang was made 30 years ago, and on that time computer where not having the processing power of this cheap boards.

I need to start playing with this boards to, must be a lot of fun ;)

It's a big thing to replace Single Page Apps in a lot of use cases.
