Elixir is not probably best suited for CLI tools, given the BEAM has slow startup times, but people wrote scripts in Ruby, so it might be acceptable for someone

Elixir scripts can be distributed as releases which include the compiled modules bytecode and the VM to run them or as escripts, which are binary executable that can be run on any system with Erlang installed
