The backend is not done in Elixir, but Go.
I would love to do it in Elixir with Phoenix, but this would mean the team has to learn another tool. Go is really easy and fast to pick up. Here the Go Toolchain/Ecosystem matters, which is easy to grasp, and you get a type system, which is not as sophisticated as in Elm, but fits the job.
An older project was done with Grails/Groovy. This was fun and fast to iterate. But after a while, when you come back to the old project code, it is hard to get the dynamic types into your head. So actually I would prefer a static type system.
I know there is some tool for Elixir to handle this. But I did not look into this.
