IIRC they don't, but as someone who doesn't know Erlang, the Erlang documentation was really hard to read and the APIs differed from other Elixir libraries.

- srevenant 4y ago+100 — the heart of the problem

Now you suddenly need to understand that language enough to do that. To some extent this happens very often, I've had it in Clojure+Java and PHP+C libraries.
