There is no “Elixir OTP”.
Both are totally separate.
Elixir is a programming language.
OTP is an application framework to build applications for the BEAM-VM, it is part of the erlang standard library.
Elixir provides some wrappers/reimplementations of erlangs OTP building blocks, as Supervisor
and GenServer
or extensions like Task
and Agent
.
