Yes, you can install things locally if your Chromebook supports Android apps. You can install Termux (an Android-based terminal emulator) and install programming languages of your choice. I have successfully installed Go, Ruby, Python, Node.js in the past. I haven't tried installing Elixir, so I can't say, but a quick search yielded some results like this one.
As for your second question, you can install a number of editors locally if you follow the previous method (Termux Android app). Although, in my article, I was focusing more on remote development environments/setups.

Hope this answers your questions.
chromebrew seems to have emacs, python, elixir (and other languages, as well as neovim)
I assume these are different from Android Apps/Termux ?
Have you tried chromebrew ? if yes, what was your experience ?
I have not tried Chromebrew because it required putting the Chromebook in Dev Mode, which I was avoiding entirely.
