There was something (don’t remember exact name) what was supposed to transpile Elixir into JavaScript, but it had some problems I did not came around.
- The necessary “runtime” was not created when compiling modules, one had to copy it manually from the source folder of that project
- There was a missive boilerplate code involved to actually transfer the most simple datatypes (as in atoms, lists, and tuples) between Elixir on the server side and the Elixir-To-JavaScript in the Browser.
- There was a massive performance overhead for even simplest loops that just throw a message into the log. (A simple loop throwing 1k lines of text into the console ran about only 20% of the speed of native JS)
