I wrote a small supervisord ripoff in go just after its launch, it was at the same time frustrating and enjoyable. I will have a week off in less than a month, do you think i should build a similar elixir app just to learn the language? Or do you have any idea of a better well known programm to build to "learn" the language in a week?

Don't want to be that guy, but imo one week is not enough to even "learn" Elixir. To be honest it depends on your previous experience, of course. But the problems is, that there a lot of books, but there are not that much code examples in the world. There are some Phoenix open sourced projects, but I didn't see that much OTP in them.
