As someone who started on julia first and then moved to elixir:

If you're doing computational/numerical stuff, stick with julia, for now. You really can't do that elixir, not today, and maybe not for at least another year or two. It will likely never be as good as julia since computation is not first class in the vm it runs on.

If you're doing or planning or doing anything with web, or orchestration, go with elixir.
