Growing BEAM Ecosystem Through Phoenix LiveView

Sophie DeBenedetto, a Staff Software Engineer at GitHub, shared insights on Phoenix LiveView at GOTO Copenhagen 2023. She believes that Phoenix LiveView, with its approach to web development on the BEAM, is positioned to drive the adoption of BEAM languages in the tech industry. She describes LiveView as highly concurrent, fault-tolerant, and offering a real-time web framework that leverages the best of BEAM. It's designed to be functional, declarative, and concise, making it an attractive choice for developers. DeBenedetto outlined key features of LiveView including security, state recovery, file uploads, code organization, JavaScript integration, and efficient data handling, all of which contribute to a compelling web development experience. With such advancements, organizations are beginning to incorporate Elixir and the BEAM ecosystem more broadly into their tech stacks.
