Depends on what you want to do, I think. The pros of the BEAM likely outweigh the cons of Elixir's dynamic types for distributed messaging systems, e.g., Discord. Otherwise, F# and the SAFE stack probably can serve other backend needs more safely with better library support from .NET. Elixir does seem more trendy than F#, which has lagged somewhat due to second-class support from Microsoft and lingering dislike for .NET -- hopefully things will improve as .NET Core matures.
