I love javascript, but there have been so many times I wanted to have c to write some custom performant code hacks. I could care less about the types. Having pointers however and not dealing with all these deep cloning hacks and different things would be amazing. Plus would be able to roll my own data structures that are way better that whats built in.

well, you can't use them on the frontend. The browsers only understand JavaScript. You might be able to compile some Elixir to WebAssembly but I'm not sure...
BTW Phoenix is a server side framework...

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Strongly typed is ambigious term. Elm is statically typed and from ML family, so it most likely sound system (haven't seen formal proof).
Elm solves other problems than C, but - as of today - it is one of the least painful options to write client-side code.

what about elixir and phoenix? they claim some impressive performance.
