This was super-interesting for me to read. I developed in Meteor for about two years. I started out a major fan, but was quite disappointed in the framework by the end. I'm now excited about Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView/BEAM and am about to spend a few months getting myself up to speed with that whole ecosystem.
Same boat, I got into Meteor for a while years ago (even built a side project that ran in production and made real money for a couple of years).
For the last year I have been writing Elixir/Phoenix full-time at work on a greenfield project. We have gone "all in" on LiveView and our using it in a significant portion of our system. I have been very impressed with it so far. When pairing LiveView with Phoenix PubSub, one can achieve Meteor-like 'reactivity' with remarkable ease.
