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

If you’re interested in BEAM anyways, Gleam is just a lovely language to work with. It makes many functional principles easy to work with rather than mathematical. Although I don’t have any experience in Elixir, so I can’t judge how it compares in detail.
