On "Why Elixir?"

I get a lot of mileage out of custom subcommands over eval and rpc calls, to reduce cognitive overhead during operational or triage tasks. This is also a place where documentation and runbooks could supplement about as well.

I use this for a project since switching to ˋmix releaseˋ from distillery:

But to be fair for new projects I use eval as in my case CI is the only place to call those commands, so the benefit is minor.
