This has been previously mentioned but F# gets all of the goodies that come with being a .NET language. Elixir comes from Ruby land and thus has a framework called Phoenix(?) which also has its fans.
The big difference is that F# is a statically typed functional language, while Elixir is a dynamically typed functional language. Comparison of static vs dynamic types -> https://hackernoon.com/statically-typed-vs-dynamically-typed-languages-e4778e1ca55 https://hackernoon.com/statically-typed-vs-dynamically-typed...
I personally opted for F# because of the domain modelling tools and the offloading of various caveats and edge cases onto the compiler's stack rather than the meatspace stack, but Elixir has many fans for a good reason no doubt, but I'll defer to someone with more experience working with it to weigh in.
