Well, this discussion is probably as old as the language itself. 50% say you should learn the basics first, the other half finds it okay to start with what benefits you most. For me personally, I would go with how I learn best.
Smthng like "silver bullet" is learning basics during learning JS - all the S.I.C.P. concepts are able to be realized on JavaScript according to it's current functionality.
UPD:
Yes. Talking about the conceptual idea- that is just exactly what I mean.

I definitely agree with you @tyrionfront
that when learning to code (frontend or backend), it's super-important to learn basics of sicp. For me, only when I started learning about the basics of cs, JS started making sense, really. While I do understand that if e.g. you want to be a front-end programmer, maybe you don't need to be fluent with data structures, it definitely helps to understand them, even on the basic level!

Yeah, you are right, but I think it is always a good thing to point out because frameworks will be replaced by other frameworks. The core of the language most probably not.

Is this the SICP of which you speak?

Except that JS doesn't have tail call optimization.
Not long time ago JS didn't have many of current features so I suppose that solving the issue U R talking about is just a matter of time.

Thats not 100% true. Safari / WebKit has proper tail call optimization

Yeah, I totally agree with that. It's always good to stay relevant by learning the fundamentals!
