> bit syntax which in Erlang is used for strings
In Elixir, maybe, but in Erlang many strings are still charlists. Especially important is the fact that the Erlang stdlib’s Leex (lexer) and Yecc (parser) modules operate in terms of charlists, and both the Erlang and Elixir compilers use those modules. So compilation won’t be getting any faster from this optimization.
