I'm fascinated by Elixir, but more so for using to do neural network experiments with more unique topologies, training methods, and activation functions. Being able to spin every neuron out into a process just seems too damn elegant for doing work with spiking neural networks. Will it be as fast as the python stacks? Probably not, but not being constrained to the implicit assumptions in a lot of those libraries will be worth a lot. Plus, there's already good neural network and genetic algorithm libraries for Elixir. I really think this langauge is gonna go places.
