title: Can Elixir or Erlang programs be compiled to a standalone binary?
body: <p>It says that Elixir has a tool called <code>elixirc</code> and Erlang has a tool called <code>erlc</code> to <a href="http://elixir-lang.org/crash-course.html#elixir" rel="nofollow noreferrer">compile modules</a> for use. It says immediately after this that you can then run code with the <code>elixir</code> command line tool.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to compile a binary executable with Elixir or Erlang? (one which I can <code>chmod +x binary_name</code> and then run from the same directory with <code>./binary_name</code>)</p>
