My "learn elixir" project was writing a full API/client for communication with a NEO-M8 GPS chip via i2c bus. I have never done any i2c hardware programming in my life. Suffice to say I bit off way more than I can chew and it barely works - but it's definitely been incredibly rewarding to use such a high level language to do such low level things with relative ease.
