What's your favorite way to use Phoenix *without* node?
I’m curious what you’re favorite non-nodejs front-end bits are for Phoenix projects?
No holy wars intended here, just trying to get myself refreshed on what alternatives there are, such as Elm, ElixirScript, etc.
What else is out there, and why is it your favorite? Excited to hear your views!

Personally, I’m excited for when Lumen is ready for production and I can use it in my own projects.

For small projects that target modern browsers, you can get away with TypeScript without Node/NPM (except for maybe installing the tsc binaries globally). I do that in this Elixir project and this no-backend project. If you don’t have deps (or only a couple), and are comfortable writing some things (like my dom.ts) yourself, then this works pretty well. 
It works because TypeScript compiles your code down to JS modules and modern browsers can nowadays directly use those modules without bundling. So you just tsc and off you go!
