Where to start FP?

I would like to learn more about functional programming and generally try it out. What is the easiest language to start with in this regard? I don't need to talk about the basics of programming, I'm only new to FP. I know that the most FP-shny PL is Haskell, but I have heard more than once about its terrible syntax, and even when I tried to read about it, I could not digest it. So what else could it be? Some Clojure or what? Or still try to understand Haskell? By the way, I heard that you can successfully do FP in C#. I just know him well.
And finally, the most important thing - where, in principle, is FP used? For example, can it be used in web development? (I now specialize in it more)
PS By the way, I don't know how it is in other cities, but in mine I have never seen vacancies for the same haskell, and even clojur with it.

Haskell has great syntax. Start with Lipovac's book.

I have been working with programming languages ​​for a long time that allow you to use a functional approach to solve problems. For a good introductory document on functional programming, I would recommend John Harrison's lecture course.
