Elixir is great, and I have recently started using it myself, but its not a substitute for Rust. Try writing device driver in Elixir, or anything CPU intensive.

I’m building a heavily parallel dataflow system. I thought Rust might be good for concurrency.
GP said nothing of what they were building. Seems pretty probable it was a web service/application rather than a device driver.
That is my point. It might be better for some use cases, but those are very different from the ones Rust is best.
