> functional programming is part of CS curricula for at least 10 to 20 years now My school (UIUC) only just added a functional programming course to the CS course map in 2021. Of course you could always take a functional programming course if you wanted to, but not many do.

Interesting. I graduated a decade ago and remember taking CS421 where you implement part of an OCaml compiler in OCaml. I thought that it was required because I don't think I would have chosen it myself. It ended up being my favorite course in all of school.
