> "live" connection to persistence BEAM process

This particular bit does seem interesting and would make sense to take advantage of the BEAM's cheap green threads. Couldn't find any info on LiveView's GitHub landing page nor the Phoenix website (haven't dug too much), do you happen to have a link?

The guides are the best place to learn about LiveView itself. Since guides are always included as part of the docs (reference docs) people always tend to shy away from them (not saying you are, it's just a thing with people it seems):

Oh also wanted to point out that while there has been an ongoing effort for LiveView Native, it is not there yet (I actually haven't heard anyone talking about it in quite a while). I'm not too in the Rails world so I don't know how good Hotwire Native is, but I assume it's much further along than LV Native, so that's a big thing if you need that. No idea about LiveWire as I've never even been in the Laravel world.
