Don’t worry too much about whether to learn language A versus language B. They all do the same things. Focus on learning theory of computation. A bit of complexity theory is also very useful (but don’t get carried away with it). Learn discrete mathematics. Learn differential equations. Learn topology and algebra. Don’t worry about it being too much, you’ll be surprised how similar they all end up being. Read and understand The Analysis of Algorithms by Paul Purdom. It’s very dense, but it will serve you well.
