I wonder what the state of Erlang’s LLVM support is. That’s how the Scala folks are attempting to bring Scala to the CLI world.

That is perfectly fine, having in mind that Erlang / Elixir are aiming at long-running services and servers and not one-off scripts. In that area Go and Rust are hard to beat and that is okay. You don’t need to use Elixir for absolutely everything. It already does quite a lot.
