The article section about interpreted vs compiled is incorrect.

.exs files are compiled just like .ex files are. The only difference between `elixirc` and `elixir` is that the former creates an artifact on disk, and the latter does not. See https://medium.com/@fxn/how-does-elixir-compile-execute-code....

Also, Ruby is as compiled as Elixir is.

Compiled vs interpreted is blurred the moment you compile to bytecode run by a VM. An artifact is not a fundamental difference.
