I've been using Elixir as a backend for a side project (with a Remix frontend) and it's been really pleasant and productive to work with on the backend. I appreciate how productive LiveView can be, but for my specific case I needed to handle poor network connections and LiveView was (as expected) a poor experience.
I wish Elixir was able to decouple itself from LiveView in a sense in the minds of developers. Even without LiveView and realtime/channels, just using Elixir as a backend for a simple API has been really fun.
