Elixir compiles to bytecode which is not half bad

Pretty much everything compiles to bytecode (e.g. Java does, Python does, C# does, …)

I expect they want a native binary (possibly even statically linked) so they can trivially distribute the artefact without requiring that the VM be installed or bundled which is a PITA, in which case "compiles to bytecode" is useless.
