Not Elixir. Try Programming Erlang or Erlang Programming for an intro to a gentler functional programming language, which will serve you well if you want to learn Elixir. Or, you can try Haskell until you get overwhelmed by the mathematical theory (do not even consider “Real World Haskell”!)
I’m not sure why Pragmatic Programmers offers a book called Elixir for Programmers when Programming Elixir 1.6 has a skill level rating of intermediate to expert.
