I can agree on the fundamentals, even though I took OOP and CS in college, but that was a long time ago and not my main field of study. I find it hard to apply to JS though, as you said, it is not easy to comprehend.

Are you suggesting a different technology stack for the fundamentals? Others seem to go the same way, but they are suggesting it within the ecosystem of JS, just not with the overhead of the new technologies.

It's not that important in general. But I assumed that if you're already overwhelmed by JS infra, you might get a smoother initial experience with less messy yet still interpreted dynamic language like ruby.
