Elixir plays well with others including Python

This is a great example of using a python library within Elixir:

This means we can easily turn a python cli application into a managed Elixir webservice.
If we don’t have a native Elixir version we are free to use a Python one.
Keep these in small services as it may not play well with a supervision tree!

Elixir finds lots of ways to work well with other languages!
