Nice project.

As was already mentioned, the main benefit of Elixir seems to come from BEAM, (Erlang VM) and its associated cockroach-like properties. There's also Crystal (https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal), if what you want is a Ruby-inspired language with static typing and compilation to native code.

I needed a title. I could have said Elixir-inspired or Crystal-inspired, but few people know about Crystal. Although it's only minimally inspired by Elixir, I decided to go with that title.

By the way, I've mentioned Crystal towards the end of the README.
