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'd say go straight into Erlang if you're interested in BEAM.

https://learnyousomeerlang.com/ - Probably the best introductory material to Erlang.
https://github.com/happi/theBeamBook - The best book to read related BEAM.
