Academic liars

If they say they want to make programming better and they use C, teach C, or are not trying to replace C, they are a liar.
If they say C is a good imperative programming language and anything better must be functional or object-oriented, they are a liar.
If they say a simplified or less undefined C will make programming better, they are a liar.
If they say C is too hard to replace, they are a liar.

They're starting to teach JavaScript and CS grads will think it's good because that's what they learned. They will think it's normal for their text editor to be written in JavaScript and have its own copy of Chromium.

You seriously live in some bubble if you think any idiot will buy this crap.

First of all, just because someone learns a high level language as a first language, doesn't mean they will think it's the best language ever; it's just to teach programming concepts, or lack of. Did everyone who learn BASIC continue to program in it for the decades after?

Second, I know you think your average code monkey isn't very bright, but to say they'd think using a web browser masquerading as a text editor--is normal just because they learned javascript, is pretty absurd and cynical.

You claim that universities are responsible for all this nonsense you dislike, but you have to remember that the internet and its communities also influence these people to go with whatever programming language that is hip. I don't know what university teaches Rust or node.js in CS, yet it seems to be popular.
