  The lectures for CMU's Principles of Functional Programming course are actually online for free! http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~15150/lect.html

  alternatively, just start building interesting things and follow all rabbit holes.

  computer science doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

  Can't say I want to learn "web" from whatever MIT staff wrote this absolutely awful course experience: http://people.csail.mit.edu/dnj/teaching/6170/js-live-2020/m...

  Even trying to get past 2 swipes in nearly drove me insane.

  From a practical perspective, one should probably learn procedural/OOP first, it's the de-facto industry standard, and thus better for one's early career. Whether functional is "better" in the longer term, I won't get into here, only to say I have skepticism.

  Is there something like this but for traditional CompSci?

  mh, maybe I'm wrong but it does not touch all of CS, does it? System design, distributed systems, game theory ..

  It's a cool write up, but why is this site promoting Triplebyte? Lol what?
