If "functional" means the functional paradigm , then Go is clearly an outsider here. I advise Haskell to get acquainted with the paradigm in fact in a "pure" form. After him - Scala and / or Rust, as successful mixtures of the functional paradigm with other paradigms / directions. And don't forget to play with Erlang.
If “functional” means a convenient tool with many features out of the box, then Go is definitely here, since the entry threshold is small and instills good practices. After it, Scala + FRP + TypesafeStack should also seem interesting, but there the entry threshold will be higher.

To earn money - I recommend the most common functional programming language. javascript.
And if there is no goal to earn money, then Haskell is very good.

Looking for what.
For educational purposes - Haskell. It is also well suited for some specific tasks (modeling, compilers, data transformation).
For applications in everyday life - Scala, Clojure, F#.
