How many layers can we do!! I’m guessing elixir to JavaScript to v8 or whatever the js vm was called in chrome. Then jit then binary.

Communicating over a network or one of those chrome sockets to an elixir or erlang vm so someone else can manage your data.

Life is good

Not quite, this is just your standard server side rendering for providing a convenient GUI alongside your erlang vm. There's no layering here, just bundling of things that are usually distributed separately (editor and vm).

And the interaction is handled by Phoenix LiveView (html pushed trough websockets)
