I so far agree with all you said and strong think already based on limited info available to me that you are a well-versed Elixir dev. However nothing beats the short term dev speed of scripting up some JS with npm. Have you seen the latest test runner efforts on node.js and advancements in deno? I think this gap is slowly closing but node is still not near Elixir in terms of long-term productivity, in future it will take over though I think if types dont get into the Elixir language fast.

I have to transpile my scripts if I want to copy-paste which I often need to do.

And there's no repl if you're using transpiled code. I have tried using `ts-node` but that didn't work. In Elixir this stuff just works.

Maybe there's some tooling I am missing out on with Node.js. I am not familiar with Deno.
