hello,

I got into learning Perl because some people on IRC said so. at first I wasn't interested in Perl because I already know Python and Python can almost do anything Perl can. I still gave it a try to kinda have some experience learning new language. I am on chapter 3 right now and would make another post about my progress.

I've been brainwashed into finding Elixir interesting due to how it handles parallelism and how good it's supposed to be for live debugging. (According to ~3 talks I found on youtube)

Edit: Syntax error

Also a good choice. I've never used Elixir but have used Erlang. Elixir is just Erlang with different surface syntax, pretty much. https://learnyousomeerlang.com is a good way to start with Erlang.
