I absolutely love Elixir, but if this is the bridge you need to cross, just write it in Python in the first place.

So if your app is 99% elixir but 1% is easier in Python because a lib you should rewrite the whole app? Makes no sense. Do you think Python devs rewrite everything in C if they have a small part that needs to use C instead of Python?
It's 2026 and the LLMs score high on elixir, just write it in python and patch it over to elixir gradually
Or patch it over to python, I assume LLMs are even better at python.
Don't assume. Empirically, they are not. (This post Feb 2026 may change in future yadda yadda)
