Do you have a definition for an active user? If so how the active vs. passive user rate? Arrange user tests, ask people who are unfamiliar to your product to download and try. You could learn a ton from that experience watching people using

Check some Python code from Peter Norvig and you will see a beautiful and clever style. It's not the language which stops you.

It's not just small but the HTML part is also dead simple to render.

There are similar attempts but OTP is a unique and very powerful approach, the deep integration between the language, core libraries and the framework is hard to match. Why not stick with it? Elixir is fresh and nice, but even Erlang is eas

I don't get your comment. Python is great on each platform but Windows where you must put some extra effort to get it running.
