Long story short no one is using it, basically vastly over provisioned.

We can turn it off and not use it, or we can use it for something. We have some ideas but its not even scratching the surface of the total.

i think elixir is a good effort but given the decline of ruby and elixir's similar syntax, that hasn't done it any favors in terms of adoption.

i'd be really excited for a python inspired implementation.
