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 would advise going in the opposite direction, learning a purely functional language first to then being able to appreciate functional parts

That is beside the point of an opinionated list of the good and the bad, that will differ for others
