Elixir may be of interest as well as / instead of Erlang https://elixir-lang.org/

Your friend should obviously watch Erlang The Movie 2

is there a first one?

Yes, I have not watched it

Erlang the Movie 2: Concurrent Boogaloo. But the book is still better, of course.

Don't know Erlang, but my go to source whenever I need to learn a new language is http://learnxinyminutes.com/. Here is the page for Erlang: http://learnxinyminutes.com/erlang/

Every developer should read Joe Armstrong’s book Programming Erlang imo :)
