Actually, Elixir support comes from API changes to be more Elixir friendly (for example order of parameter to be "pipe" friendly). This is also about submitting the component on hex.pm package manager to be easily integrated in Elixir mix tool. And finally, this is about writing some part in Elixir. For some projects we are even starting writing code directly in Elixir.

The shout out to Elixir is interesting. I glanced through the linked GitHub code and as far as I can tell nothing is written in Elixir, although it's still a trivially true statement since Elixir can easily use Erlang libraries. I guess Elixir is a big enough force in the Erlang community now that they want to highlight that their software works fine for Elixir users as well!
