Lunatic brings Erlang's principles to WebAssembly

This seems like a very cool idea. The concurrency model in Erlang/Elixir/... eliminates the issues of shared mutable state and the supervision trees catch unexpected data-related problems, etc.

FWIW, the Elixir/Phoenix community seems to have settled on LiveView, which performs most of the processing at the server, assisted by some small JS routines which handle updates, etc.

I think the Elixir/Phoenix community is very excited about LiveView, but I wouldn't say settled. I'd guess only a very small fraction of serious Phoenix apps use it, and most new ones are probably still going to go with some sort of SPA, at least for the time being.

I happen to know of a big application that handles a surprisingly large sum of money every day that uses it extensively.

I think its a bit more than a small fraction

Do you know of any projects that seek to run elixir on web assembly in the browser in such a way that it can interact with a standard elixir beam backend?
