Interesting take. I’m an Elixir fanboy because I find LiveView to be very slim. You’re just sending state diffs over WebSocket and updating the DOM with MorphDOM. The simplicity is incomparable to state of the art with JavaScript frameworks in my humble opinion.

I'd use something like a lightweight python framework (take your pick) and pair it with htmx. You can run that on low powered hardware or a cheap VPS. I can't even dev elixir on my N100 minipc, it's too demanding. Otherwise Python and SolidJS or Preact will work perfectly for a SPA.

    Isn't the N100 a quad core machine? It can't run Elixir?

      It can but it feels very sluggish developing in my ide of choice (vscode). I also miss having a debugger which is nonnegotiable for me.
