Using Erlang libs in Elixir

[Michael Truog]

If you wanted to convert an Elixir module to be an Erlang module that 
lives in an Erlang/OTP application without a runtime dependency on the 
Elixir runtime, you can do that with 
https://github.com/okeuday/reltool_util/blob/master/ex2erl .  That 
approach would allow you to use Elixir macros and other Elixir features 
without being focused on their implementation.  If you use ex2erl, it 
would be best to keep updating the output with future releases of 
Elixir, but I wouldn't expect breaking changes due to a recent Elixir 
release.

Best Regards,
Michael
