Specifically, I’m interested in BEAM, but I’m not sure if I should go for Elixir or Gleam. What seems cool about Gleam is that it has static typing.

I have no experience with functional programming at all btw

    I assume this suggestion will get me torched for reasons I don’t understand, but why not a multi-paradigm language like JavaScript/Typescript, or C#?

      I feel like this is the way. It ensures you get exposed to multiple paradigms and can help you easily switch to a language that’s more invested in one paradigm.
