I decided to focus only on metaprogrammable ones from now on (as a time saver and to step up). I made a list and ordered them by how much I would be interested in using them (which combines my curiosity with current/expected adoption). My short-list for metaprogrammable ones are: Clojure Elixir Nim Crystal Rust (would be higher if I did more low-level work) Pony I left most other functional ones off my list because that's an exploration in itself for another time. I was surprised that I put Clojure and Elixir first given my preference for static types.
