If your goal is to show that Elixir is an excellent language for writing distributed mathematical calculations, you’re going to fail at that goal. It is not. This isn’t because it’s bad at being distributed, but because it’s bad at doing high performance numerical calculations.
It can be GREAT at coordinating high performance numerical calculations, and the work and data necessary to make that happen. So for example at Cargosense we run a lot of machine learning stuff in which all the heavy lifting is done in C libraries wrapped by Python. But we use Elixir to coordinate those jobs, get the jobs their data, and manage their lifecycle.
