I'm a full-stack Typescript dev (React, Node.js, etc.). Lately I've been more intrigued by functional programming. I feel like I've gone pretty deep into OO and classes, inheritance, etc. Looking back, I feel like there is a better way to structure that, and the glimpse of functional programming that I've seen seems to help with this boilerplate.

I've heard only good things about Elixir/Phoenix, so I'm thinking about picking it up for my next project. One thing about JS/TS is that the ecosystem is well developed, especially on the deployment side. For side projects especially, I like to minimize my dev ops configs and utilize "serverless" type stuff (i.e. Zeit/Vercel, FaaS, etc). I haven't seen much of this in Elixir-land, but hey, maybe that's an area I can help innovate in.
