I hope this list receives massive boosts. The line of reasoning for each language is unique, well-considered, and sound. I read a similar post yesterday, extolling Python, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Scala, with the rationale for learning each language essentially boiling down to "it's popular" or "it's easy to learn"... Java was in both categories, without any sense of irony on the "easy to learn" aspect.
While I vastly prefer Elixir's soft approach to type enforcement over strict statically-typed languages (declaring a @spec for a function allows static code analyzers to warn you when an input or output might not align with what you've said it should be) (also, pattern-matching on function parameters is, in a sense, a means of type enforcement), you've convinced a stalwart proponent of JavaScript's typeless wilderness to dip his toe in TypeScript, where many TS evangelists have tried and failed 👏
Oh, I may be wrong on this, but I think you can clean up the fizzbuzz expression you wrote for Elixir, slightly... if you've already tried this and it came back with an error, please do let me know, because I'm actually curious and not near an iex prompt at the moment 😅
Enum.each(1..100,&IO.puts(&fizzbuzz))# or possibly1..100|>Enum.map(&fizzbuzz)|>IO.puts

Ahh, that makes sense too 😅
