Could be, I wouldn’t mind, as long as there is single tool used through community (with possible thin wrappers for “nicer feel”. Like in Java world where there is Gradle that is built in Groovy and became de facto standard in Android development.
The problem I see however is that this would require whole Elixir to be distributed together with such tool. I think that this is the dealbreaker there.
To clarify myself on the topic:
I do not think that we should ditch our tooling in favour of Erlang one, what I am saying is that we should work to uniform it. I do not care which “side” will “win”, what I care is that there will be common tooling in family. Question is how we could “promote” our solutions or how we could adopt solutions that are outside of our world. Example of such integration is EEP 48 which brings common documentation store to everyone, which is great. Now we need to think about rest of the places where we can establish common ground.
