I don't know Elixir, but it does some questionable things. For instance, it appears to read and process the entire ascii_chars.txt file for each character in the output. It's not a big file, but it wouldn't be difficult to read it once.

I thought of that but for a starter I didn't want to optimise too much. But still it's a good suggestion and I will apply "boy scout rule" for sure!
