I understood the (some number of grands-)parent comment to be saying "Elixir seems a good candidate [for a compilation target]." If that was not your interpretation, then it is certainly non-sequiter. Re-reading, I think I misread something in a surrounding comment, though I'm not sure what.

I said "Elixir seems a good candidate" for backend development, not as a compilation target. The OP asked for suggestions regarding light, friendly FP languages for backend dev.

Yeah - like I said, I think I misread something up-thread, so I had the wrong context in mind.
