We’re thrilled to announce that Curiosum has officially become the main sponsor of Hologram, the groundbreaking Elixir framework. Just as excitingly, its founder - Bart Blast - is joining our team!
Why Hologram?
In recent years, Phoenix LiveView has revolutionized the Elixir ecosystem by minimizing JavaScript and simplifying server-side logic. However, even the best tools have their limits. LiveView's performance can dip under high network latency, and managing state across Function Components, LiveComponents, and LiveViews can become complex and memory-intensive.
This is where Hologram steps in. Hologram offers the best of both worlds: the developer experience of LiveView without its traditional bottlenecks. By intelligently transpiling Elixir code into JavaScript, Hologram allows application logic to run directly in the browser.
The result?
- Zero-latency interactions: Logic runs on the client side.
- Reduced server load: Minimal memory footprint, even with thousands of concurrent users.
- Pure Elixir: The need to write manual JavaScript is realistically eliminated.
Why Curiosum steps in
We’ve decided to back this project to ensure that the innovative vision behind Hologram is fully realized. With its ambitious roadmap and the growing interest from the Elixir community, developing this framework has become a full-time project.
Through this sponsorship, Bart will maintain full ownership and autonomy over the project. Curiosum’s role is to provide the support structure necessary to bring Hologram to the next level, focusing on:
- Strategy: Helping define roadmap milestones and development goals.
- Engineering: Providing hands-on support from our team for open-source development.
- Consulting: Leveraging our experience from over 50 Elixir-based projects to advise on framework adoption and developer needs.
- Adoption: Assisting early adopters in integrating Hologram into their workflows.
- Finance: Providing the resources required to scale the project sustainably.
What’s Ahead
The roadmap for Hologram is ambitious and we can’t wait to contribute to its growth. If you’re interested in what’s ahead you can check:

There's hardly any more misunderstood element of Elixir than its metaprogramming power. The way to understand it is actually not to try too hard to wrap your head around it.
While Elixir isn't the programming language most commonly associated with embedded software development, it offers features that could make it an unexpectedly good choice in this domain. The qualities for which we appreciate Elixir so much - concurrency and fault tolerance - also play a key role in more complex embedded systems, where multiple tasks must run in parallel and recover gracefully from failures.
Security is a fundamental aspect of web development that should never be overlooked.
