ElixirScript is a compiler that converts Elixir code into JavaScript by transforming the Elixir AST into a JavaScript ESTree AST. It integrates as a Mix compiler so Elixir modules can be compiled and run in the browser or Node.js.

Use cases

• write frontend JavaScript code in Elixir
• compile Elixir modules to run in the browser
• use Elixir functional style for JavaScript projects
• interoperate Elixir code with JavaScript via FFI
• build web apps with Elixir instead of JavaScript
• test Elixir modules that call JavaScript APIs

When to choose

• you know Elixir well and want to write browser code in it
• you want functional immutable patterns compiled to JavaScript
• you need an Elixir-to-JS pipeline integrated with Mix

When to avoid

• you need an actively maintained tool - last release was 2019
• you want full Elixir standard library support in the browser
• you need production-grade frontend tooling today
• you prefer modern alternatives like Gleam or LiveView
