I've played with it a little bit:

Copilot did pretty poorly when I tried using it with Julia- it kept suggesting Python code. I suspect it would do something similar in Elixir.

I'm also a vim person who doesn't want to use VS code, but I've gotten more than enough value to get into my first IDE (with vim keybindings). A lot of tedious C++ code is getting correctly auto-generated.

I don't think c++ is even on their supported language? the copilot page lists python,js,ts,ruby,go.
From the “About GitHub Copilot” page:

“GitHub Copilot is optimized to help you write Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, Go, C#, or C++.”

It has first class Neovim support, possibly a better alternative for Vim person than any IDE.
