In .NET we have a very similar tool for creating such packed binaries, dotnet-warp. I used it in one of my projects and quite liked it, since it's also quite easy to cross compile (cross-pack?) for the 3 major operating systems.
I like the general idea, your independent of the system wide framework version and it still has this "one-click" install procedure (dropping the binary in your path). However, I guess this is also the negativ Part. Users don't expect that a single binary extracts itself to somewhere --> uninstalling the binary leaves traces on the system.
Definitely looking forward to try it out for elixir, wondering how fast the erlang/elixir startup really is.
