Popcorn allows Elixir code to execute in web browsers, greatly enhancing the accessibility and experimentation capabilities for new users. By utilizing AtomVM, a lightweight Erlang virtual machine, Popcorn facilitates features like function calls, process spawning, and compilation of Elixir code on the client side. Although there are limitations in terms of Elixir and OTP feature support, efforts are ongoing to improve AtomVM's functionality. The project invites users to test the tool, provide feedback, and contribute towards its development.
