Elixir had a strong web toolkit already available that accomplished nearly everything we needed at the time. When we started work on this all Pony had was a simple HTTP Server so it would’ve took a lot of “building from scratch” to get where we needed.
Maybe we’ll make the switch to Pony one day. But for now, we’re happy with what Elixir provides.
I am curious about why Elixir was chosen instead of Pony. Is it primarily because there’s no web toolkit for Pony yet, or is there another reason?
That’s pretty much why.

Thanks for the answer!
