Is there something about Erlang itself that makes it an attractive FP language for you, or is it the environment (Beam, OTP)? As a web dev, I find the performance of the system and concept of the actor model appealing and interesting, although admittedly I lack an in-depth understanding. I found the language to be too high a barrier though. This includes Elixir. http://efene.org/ looked promising, but when I tried to install it, I had some issue with something being outdated. Gleam is the next thing to try, although the more I read about it the less I understand, lol.

I've done some toy Elixir things and I really like it; not enough to get hired but enough to like the shiny packaging. (It might be that shiny all the way down, I just don't have the experience to say.)

Gleam though... that looks more to my liking _syntax_ wise. Familiarity more than anything, but might try some toy stuff on it soon.

BEAM interests me immensely from a user standpoint; I'm just wondering how much time it has in the world vs. containerization and orchestration.

Haven't heard of efene yet; thanks for that. Now my Sunday's ruined =D
