This is something seldom attempted, but I congratulate you. Go is one of a few languages that really is batteries-included. Just about anything you could need is included in the stdlib.

Interestingly, Erlang is very batteries included as well. Probably even more so than Go in most cases.

Does Elixir inherit those batteries or is the ecosystem partially disconnected from Erlang?

Elixir inherits it. You can call anything in Erlang directly.

Not strictly true. Some stuff in the Erlang distribution must be included in extra_applications before you can call them.
