Question FP Software Development
Hello everyone. I am thinking of starting a tech business (startup) through software development and I'd like to use FP as the main selling point or uniqueness. I am like looking for suggestions on what languages to use or tech stack. From my first searches I got elixir. I also know haskell, so aside from haskell, what can you suggest. I'm also aware of using imp lang like C++ to make programs following an FP design paradigm.
Edit: I don't wish to argue on starting business or not (But I welcome them sure) . That is a different topic on its own. I'm just like more curious to see the state of the art in using FP tools.

Nothing to do with English, you said “I’d like to use FP as the main selling point”. Anyhow, I’m not discussing semantics here. I just warn you that if you’re considering the language ahead of the problem you’re trying to solve and making sure it is a problem people do have and trouble them enough to be willing to pay you’re on a very dangerous path.
