Above all, I'd like to learn Clojure. For whatever reason, it seems most of the Clojure devs I've met are able to spin more magic with the language than any other "type" of dev I've met. Plus I think Rich Hickey is a genius.
I haven't looked into Elixir much at all, are there obvious pros to using it over an older/more established functional language like Clojure or Scala?
