There are similar libraies in Elixir. Is the ecosystem for ML as developed as for python? Nope, but not every ML project needs the most obscure libraries etc.
(For the record I don't really see Erlang clusters as a replacement for k8s)
Oh totally, that is not anyone's goal I think. The goal is more about enabling teams already running Elixir to also do their ML stuff in Elixir or teams that needs to do something that would benefit from the BEAM actor model but also need to do some AI stuff to do it all in Elixir. Lots of neural networks created in Python or R can then run in Elixir.
You aren’t going to teach a research scientist Erlang in spite of Python and R. You aren’t going to win that fight, ever.
