I like Elixir, but the ecosystem has years of catching up to be anywhere close to Python. Not just libraries but experienced developers. There's also a danger it might end up like Ruby - basically the support system for a web framework.

Elixir is nice, but I hardly think it compares to Python due to the fact that you are required to hand back control from a native call approximately every half second or so or else you will screw the internal scheduler on the ErlangVM.
