Feel free to take a look at the package manager and let me know if there are any libraries that you need that are missing. https://hex.pm/
I can assure you that I'm not spending my time inventing new libraries. In the past 3 or so years of working in Elixir there have been maybe 2 or 3 cases where I was looking for a library and couldn't find a suitable one. Writing my own code to cover those cases took a few hours. This should hardly be a deal breaker for anyone if you take into account dozens, maybe even hundreds of hours the ecosystem could save you in the long run if your project is a good fit for it.
Switching from Node, where a project has a 50/50 chance of not building after you leave it alone for more than a week, this was and continues to be both a time saver and a sigh of relief.
