I call it "Stackoverflowability". For every question you might have about mature tech, there'll be a list of similar relevant questions on SO that you can consult. The length of the list (and thus the probability of you finding your answer) closely correlates with the maturity of the tech.

The more SO questions / total users, the less mature is your platform.

  This sounds wrong. Most popular and with most questions languages are likely Python, JavaScript. These are not exactly new.

    I think "total users" is shorthand for ubiquity. So a large number of questions for a tech that doesn't get used much might indicate immaturity.
