I wonder if they looked into using https://github.com/asaaki/cmark.ex which is an already made Markdown Elixir NIF written in C. No glue code needed since the package already exists.
Back when I was writing Elixir, it's what I used to process Markdown and it was also substantially faster than the native Elixir Markdown library (Earmark).
