There is no BEAM on browsers so that is out of the question. But given that JavaScript is involved it may be possible to use Elixirscript (i.e. no processes; elixirscript-book).

But taking on the burden of cross-compilation and JavaScript interop, I’d look into using Bucklescript or ReasonML to also get the benefit of static typing.
