(2008-10-20) University Java

Albert Wenger and I were chatting a couple weeks ago about how we thought universities were dis-serving their Computer Science students by using Java as the primary language (beyond C/C Plus Plus).

Andrew Sullivan went through that at Stanford University. I Commented.

What do I think they should use instead? I think they should use Python for those intro courses of course. Ruby wouldn't be a bad alternative.
