Ask HN: Best way to start with functional programming?

Any ideas on the best way to get started with functional programming?

I’m thinking of Clojure/ClojureScript+React, Haskell, Scala, or Elixir. Especially in the context of web or mobile.

The FP I’ve done so far is however much FP you can do with JavaScript/Python (currying, higher order functions, map/filter/reduce, underscore), and about a third of SICP (Scheme).
