Very interesting, thanks for sharing! I didn't know Elixir was so invested in Machine Learning. I have a background in Erlang so I'll definitely dive in. Do you know of any individuals / companies that have had success with Elixir+ML in production?
Each library has been building on top of the previous libraries & abstractions (including transpiling Elixir instructions into GPU code, see "defn" etc).
I am also starting to use ML + Elixir in production and I'm aware of other individuals doing so.
I do not have a registry of companies doing so, but we're seeing more and more experienced ML practitioners mentioning they are coming from Python and willing to try something different (e.g. https://elixirforum.com/t/data-science-and-machine-learning-... and other posts on Elixir Forum).

Since you mention Erlang, there is even a Machine Learning Working Group at https://erlef.org/wg/machine-learning.
The most iconic & advertised case I'm aware of is the work done at Amplified https://www.amplified.ai ; this has been the topic of a Keynote at ElixirConf EU this year, which you can find at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FlZHkc4Mq4.

Hope this helps!

How developed is Elixir/Erlang in this area? What are the key advantages?
