I agree. That's why universities should never teach any practical real world programming languages. They should stick to Scheme and MMIX.

Not sure if that's sarcasm or not, but when I was in uni (late 90s), it was C++, which was very much a practical real-world language. There was a bit of JavaScript and web stuff, but not much (but Javascript was only 4 years old when I was a senior, so...).
