If you already write a lot of Elixir for it's application-level superpowers, then being able to hammer out a script in a language you're fresh on is nice. Combine that with better developer ergonomics (package handing in Python is inane, for one), and it's not a bad choice. No one should be learning Elixir solely for the purpose of writing short, one-off scripts, though.
