For performance intensive tasks, you could rely on Rust NIFs, there is this great project: https://github.com/rusterlium/rustler

My last project with Elixir was using Elixir merely as an orchestrator of static binaries (developed in golang) which were talking in JSON via stdin/stdout.

Yep I've used Rustler with great success.

And yep Elixir is an amazing orchestrator. But when the time comes I'll gauge whether I can't get most of the benefits with async Rust.
