My 2 cents on this. Imho elixir is just fine for a CLI tool. Installing a erlang vm in a Linux distro is straightforward and imho you can provide a container in case needed. I have been developing client in go etc. In long-term imho you should look at what is easy to maintain, imho functional lang it is easier then the objected world. So IMHO even if the 1 binary at 1st glance can be a killer feature imho should not be the fondamental factor for the choice.
