Just recently started, but working on learning Elixir next. It's been a bit of a challenge so far though because I'm not used to working in an almost purely FP focused language, and Elixir's syntax is significantly different from most other languages I'm used to in many ways other than just the FP focus.

I looked at elixir and its syntax is very friendly.

Yeah, the syntax isn't bad, it's just rather different from what I'm used to. For example, it's been years since I actively worked with a language that used keywords to delimit code blocks, and I don't think I've ever dealt with one where the parenthesis for a function call are optional.
