So we are on the same page about Static being a bit on the narrow side. However, accounting for what can be added on top of Phoenix does feel like a stretch. With all respect, going with the stretch: I could add JS to conditionally connect the socket (as some do), so should we rename LiveView to MaybeLiveView? If you add React to a View, is it a LiveView? It certainly behaves as such.
The problem with View is that it’s human nature to use a contrasting term. View is the generic part in LiveView. Live being the type. So what’s the other type?
Regular imho does not seem to fit either. For many, LiveView is the regular type they use these days and the other View is for edge cases.
I am quite certain we won’t get a perfect name, but at least we can come up with something better than ‘DeadView’ (which would never had made it in a comparison) while still supporting the need for a contrasting name.
