It at least allowed me to learn a few things about this problem area 
After more than a dozen years working on KDE/Qt as a core developer, I learned a lot about how painful some approaches are. I really do think Elixir would take off in a whole new way if it were possible to build beautiful native UIs with it, so I’m hopeful this all turns out well.
When I watched this video I thought, “Boy, this looks a lot like what an openGL game dev would make …” (both because it looks quite well done, lots of little details in there that are not at all easy, and because of the general approach), and when I looked up the person who gave the talk I was pleasantly surprised ..
(Were I less busy with other things at the moment, marrying QtQuick and Elixir would be the sort of project that I would find quite interesting to hack on; some people have started on such things, so I hold out hope ..)
