taure··on Asobi – Erlang/OTP game back end with Lua hot reload, no restart
Asobi is an Erlang/OTP game backend you can self-host. You write your match logic in Lua.

I wanted to build a game backend on Erlang/OTP. The BEAM is built for what multiplayer games actually do: lots of small concurrent processes, supervision, soft real-time, hot code loading. So I did. Matchmaker, leaderboards, voting, a world server, IAP, economy, friends, and chat are all in.

Nova is also more close to beam so it can be used with elixir and lfe or other beam languages.

We started with Erlang before Elixir was created and we still use it for everything we do.

This is more to have a smooth web framework similar to Phoenix but for Erlang.

You can also use Nova for elixir.

Yes, I agree the page is less then good. We hope to get a new version out soon.

Great to see all feedback and we will update the page.

I would say run with Nova if you want to code Erlang. If you want to code Elixir choose Phoenix. In the end both are based on Cowboy.

We started to create Nova from the lack of frameworks on the Erlang side. We wanted a fast way to start new web application and start writing on your app instead of spending time on setup.

Elixir have always had good tooling and framework from the start.
