I would advise looking at Haskell. There is just so much there, and while you learn it you get so much exposure.

Elixir is def cool but keep in mind that it is just much more normal of a language. You can probably learn it in a few weeks. Haskell is a much longer journey

Okay, I think this and the sibling have tipped it. Sounds like Haskell is where I will land and the best place to start branching out. Appreciate you!
