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

Gleam seems awesome. However, Scheme/lisp are favorites of mine, so maybe Clojerl?

But if you really want to try out the latest and greatest in functional programming/languages I would suggest Idris2. I believe there is a BEAM back end as well.
