I'd say if you know and like Rust, then Gleam should be easy to pick up but otherwise I'd try Elixir. You can learn most of the language in a few days and be experimenting with BEAM and supervision concepts basically on day one. As a learning exercise I think its worth peoples' time because actors/processes are one of the concurrency models you don't see everywhere but solve interesting problems well.

I don't think that's the case, Rust and Gleam have almost nothing in common beyond having static type systems, and those type systems are very different too.
