Yeah there was no mention of functional programming during my formal CS degree. I actually had started trying to learn more academic programming by taking a Coursera MOOC that I only realized was entirely based on functional programming after being a self-taught ad-hoc user developer. It was fascinating and intellectually stimulating but also challenging beyond my free time while at the time lacking more of the CS fundamentals. It looks like it was wisely broken up into multiple 3 week sections but I suspect this is what the course evolved into - https://www.coursera.org/learn/programming-languages https://www.coursera.org/learn/programming-languages Of course when I took in person university courses we learned Java as the fundamental programming language.
