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

middle ground point: start with the clj dialect for the ecosystem you're most familiar with. cljs for js, clj for jvm, etc. then you're learning the new language stuff but don't have to worry about a new ecosystem.
