Local-first is simmering! :)

There's Jido Assembly that uses Hologram under the hood: https://github.com/agentjido/jido_assembly

Hologram author here. It's the opposite, really - the whole thing is built on web technologies. The compiler builds an IR from your Elixir code, analyzes the call graph, and spits …

There's no easy out-of-the-box way yet. But you can do it today with JS interop as a workaround. For small files: read the file and send the bytes directly in a Hologram command pa…

Mobile's part of the plan - one Elixir codebase across web, mobile and desktop, with local-first as the groundwork. Covered in the post and roadmap ( https://hologram.page/docs/roa…

Creator here. Quick context: Hologram lets you build interactive web apps in pure Elixir by compiling to JavaScript on the client side. This release brings JavaScript interoperabil…

Gleam is written in Rust but compiles to Erlang (BEAM) or JavaScript - I mentioned the JS compilation in my previous comment. The WASM point was a response to your bytecode interpr…

Oh yeah, I remember! We'll get there :) Hope you'll give Hologram another spin sometime soon!

To clarify - Hologram's runtime is heavier than Gleam's, but that doesn't mean it's heavy. The compiler does tree-shaking, bundling only the code your app actually uses, so you're …

It depends on what you're doing. I've been in Elixir web dev for about 7 years and never really needed to write or understand Erlang, outside of my work on Hologram. That said, Erl…

Two big reasons: bundle size - few hundred KB uncompressed vs multiple MB already compressed with WASM. And the DOM lives in the JS world - WASM can't touch it directly and has to …

Both! Right now the focus is on enabling rich UIs with pure Elixir running in the browser. But eventually Hologram could be able to act as an Erlang node in the cluster as well.

Not currently, but expanding to Erlang is definitely possible down the road. I've actually been considering adding an Erlang compiler since some Erlang functions that the Elixir st…

Really appreciate it! Would love for you to give it another go - a lot has improved since then. If you run into any issues or have ideas for how things could be better, don't hesit…

Thank you! The Elixir -> JS compiler is currently coupled with the framework - it's a custom thing, not a separate dependency. Re the Gleam comparison: I don't know Gleam's impleme…
