Erlang/Elixir certainly doesn't have the necessary breadth of libraries to support general-purpose tasks.
After doing quite a bit of work with Erlang lately, this sentence jumped out at me. Specifically, I think Erlang does have a breadth of libraries, but they're not easy to find. I've had to pluck lone source files out of larger projects, or depend on an obscure github fork since the original was unmaintained. epgsql was a great example of this, though no longer thanks to davidw's yeoman work [1]
Maybe not the right place to ask this, but would anyone be interested in something like the Clojure Toolbox [2] for Erlang? I've always found having that reference of libraries organized by task to be super handy when working with Clojure.
