I do my best to nudge basic CS concepts in the direction of my Javascript learning ( exploring basic sorting algorithms using Javascript etc. ) The problem is there aren't any books like sicp that use Javascript.

So all my conceptual learning is taking place within Javascript, while additionally learning to dodge the "bad parts" , dom manipulation, and the entire web of intricacies of HTML-5. Within Javascript all that stuff is part of having a strong foundation. I would love if there was a theoretical CS Javascript equivalent of sicp. Thanks for the response.
