When rust was still a fairly new language i remember using capn'n proto to communicate between some rust code and python as a way to experiment with handing off performance critical tasks to a compiled language.

I wonder how well a similar approach would work with elixir + python. Elixir obviously has very easy process isolation, but I think you'd be stuck using a NIF approach for Elixir, which probably removes any reason to try capn'n proto over just protobufs?
