A "me too" for Elixir. Coming from a Ruby background, picking up Elixir wasn't hard at all (disclaimer: I have done some FP in the past). What I found really good about Elixir is the solid documentation[1], easy comparing of libraties[2], the mix[3] tool that made starting a project really simple.
But what really blew me away were doctests[4]. Basically I ended up writing my unit tests where my code was. That was my documentation for the code, so there was no need to maintain unit tests and documentation separatetly.
