Is this influenced by "Embedding Python in Elixir"?

It certainly is more attractive in implementation. Well done!
Both the Lua library and Luerl predate Pythonx. I started this library nearly 2 years ago, its only now that I'm releasing a stable version.
However, Pythonx was originally created by a member of our team, Cocoa, who built it in her own free time. The Livebook team forked her project, conceptually, and released it.
