Elixir beating python in the machine learning wars, or at least becoming a competitive option, is something I dream of.

Is anybody using Elixir for ML who could comment on the state of it? How usable is it now?

Last I heard, for new projects/models/etc it was great, but so much existing stuff (that you want to reuse or expand on) is dependent on python, making it hard unless you are starting from scratch.
