Erlang is often described as having an imperative core. It was my gateway drug for FP, I certainly found it much easier to grasp and write than any Lisp.

As did I. I went imperative languages -> Haskell (wtf) -> Clojure (wtf) -> Erlang (love it) -> Clojure (love it) -> Elixir (love it).

My two favorite languages these days are Clojure and Elixir. Currently mostly Clojure because my main side project is more amenable to Clojure's methods of concurrency than Elixir.
