Elixir/Erlang can support almost any style, but it is definitely a more natural fit for something TCP-based, however if you need to transfer massive amounts of data (megs or more at a time) then a raw open 'Port' would probably be the fastest.
If, for some reason, you needed absolute speed, you could make a C embedded Port (or unsafely, but faster, a C nif) to interact with it, but that is way way way overkill for most purposes.
