- Elixir's scripting makes it super easy to write a one-liner that tests a function, that'd be a lot more verbose in many other languages

- You need the docs tool and unit tests tools to 'speak the same language' to make it work, and for whatever reason Elixir devs don't seem as intent on reinventing tools like those as some other languages
