My exposure to the Erlang world is limited to having read the first few chapters of Programming Elixir. Is interop trivial? Can you easily use Erlang, Elixir, and LFE in the same project?

Yes, compiling a module where the source was written in another language is no different from calling a module written in the same one. In Elixir any time you call a module that starts with a `:` it has most likely been written in Erlang.
Technically all modules begin with : as module references are atoms. iex just hides it from for Modules made with defmodule (they have :Elixir prepended to them) /trivia
