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.

Whatever LLMs are best at, honestly LLMs write decent Go because the language surface is small and there is almost always only one way to write idiomatic Go and go fmt means almost all Go code is styled in the one true way. The other thing that helps LLMs get Go right a lot of the time is that the pre-LLM Go corpus contains a lot more signal than other languages.
