Consider Elixir best chose nowadays. Invest time in it because of next pros:

- Functional programming (always interesting to learn new paradigm: pattern matching, purity, immutability, laziness, etc FP stuff)

- Fault-tolerance

- Hot code reload

- Message-passing concurrency (actor model), thanks to Erlang

- Using at large companies for high-load and real-time

- Cool syntax
