How is the performance and scaling story compared to live view?
Live view works so well because of elixir and BEAM. The same model may not translate well to other languages depending on their concurrency and recovery pattern. There are also many optimizations in BEAM for keeping latency consistent over throughout alone which is important for live view applications.
I also wonder if it will be possible to have push only live view application. One of the reasons for this is you can use server events instead of sockets. It would be cool for building visualization or showing metrics from backend.
Awesome job all around. I love the examples folder.
Thanks for checking it out searchableguy. Tbh, I haven't run any performance/scaling tests just yet. :) I certainly don't expect it to be as performant or scale as well as BEAM right now and agree with your point that BEAM is particularly well suited for this paradigm.
That said, I think there are other server technologies to back LiveViewJS apps that may be able to scale out and perform just as well as BEAM including: Redis and DynamoDB. I plan to experiment with these in the near future.
Additionally, a big motivation for me was that I wanted to write apps in a language that I am very productive in (namely Typescript) which also has a large ecosystem and larger population of developers.
Lastly, in terms of other languages that I think could be well suited for this paradigm, Golang stands out (with channels and goroutines) but I haven't experimented with that yet.
