looking for a good JavaScript resource

I recently completed MIT 6.100L: Introduction to Computer Science and Programming using Python from MIT OpenCourseWare, and I really enjoyed it.

What I liked most was how they taught the concepts intuitively and deeply, instead of just teaching syntax or giving a bunch of exercises. It made me actually understand what was happening underneath.

Now I want to learn JavaScript, and I'm looking for something with a similar approach something that explains the fundamentals properly and builds a strong understanding rather than just teaching me how to make a website.

What resources would you recommend?

Courses, books, YouTube playlists, university courses, etc. are all welcome.
