Also agree. My programming languages course had me writing code in Racket, Julia, Erlang, Prolog, and Haskell, in addition to the languages that all students had to use for certain classes (C, C++, Java, Python, JavaScript, Assembly, and C#)

This reminds me of something my CS professor/mentor told me once.

'Teach how to program C, you will give them a job. Teach someone how to LISP, and they will keep learning forever'

We learned a lot of LISP and Functional based programming from this guy. I mean a lot. Fun times I do miss!
