What's the point about using a functional language like Gleam / Elixir for web-server applications?

I used the work for WhatsApp in Erlang, and there's a strong use case for OTP / BEAM for messaging apps, but it feels useful for anything else - especially a webserver where frameworks like Rails and Django are so easy / well supported. What do you think I'm missing?
