Creator here. Quick context: Hologram lets you build interactive web apps in pure Elixir by compiling to JavaScript on the client side.
This release brings JavaScript interoperability - the most requested feature since the project's inception. Hologram's premise is that you shouldn't need to write JavaScript, but cutting yourself off from 3 million npm packages and hundreds of browser APIs isn't realistic. v0.8.0 bridges that gap: call JS functions, use npm packages, interact with Web APIs, instantiate classes, and work with Web Components - all from Elixir, with zero client-side latency.
