Elixir is a Ruby like language that runs on the BEAM VM, the bytecode virtual machine that Erlang runs on.
Elixir is thus able to execute Erlang code directly including OTP.
This means you can use OTP as you would in Erlang but without the somewhat arcane syntax.
Thus it can be said, you can use the "real" thing.
