??? Erlang and Elixir have of tons of side effects. You must not either know the languages well—or maybe you mean immutability?
If you mean immutability, have fun building highly concurrent systems without it. The local reasoning and safety guarantees that immutability gives you makes building large scale applications sane—that’s the only way I’d want to program.
