Rust

A safe, concurrent, practical language
Pricing:
- Open Source
Calypso is a programming language that uses mostly imperative programming features, but also has some influences from functional programming. It was inspired by Elixir and Rust. I'm writing the compiler and virtual machine in Rust as I'm fairly comfortable with it, and it's arguably a pretty good language to do so.

Erlang

A programming language used to build massively scalable soft real-time systems with requirements on high availability

However, as Elixir is inherently tied to the BEAM and Erlang/OTP, it means that it has features like immutable variables (though you can rebind them and have state via process loops, e.g. Agents or GenServers). This also means that OTP is the main "application framework" for Elixir/Erlang. In my opinion, OTP is a pretty good design philosophy for applications, but sometimes it's just kind of hard to set up or wrap your head around. It can cause you to think about a lot of things when designing even simple applications, which means that it's sometimes much harder to develop applications incrementally.
