alt Hacker NewsI took a similar class in college, and I'm also glad I did, even though the professor was kinda rubbish.
Even having the thinnest surface level understanding of the other ur-languages is so useful (and even more-so with assembly). I can't do anything useful with them, but it helps keep you from the "when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" trap if you're at least aware of the existence of screwdrivers.
Same, our professor was okay, but he introduced a new system for the course that year, Weblab. I see it still exists and I have no doubt it works flawless now but every exam except the last ones was a mess.
And regarding the screwdriver, I fully agree. Especially with AI I can use the right tool for any job, despite me not being able to use it directly.
