I can't believe people actually use this shit. The amount of RAM it uses is seriously insane.

Most universities don't teach anything students really understand anymore. Teaching JavaScript will only make this worse.
Some people like to blame the problems with C on imperative programming, manual memory management, pointers, etc. The problem with C-based languages is bad syntax and semantics, not the features and purpose of the languages. Look at switch, for, arrays, pointers. They do not behave like the normal CS concepts. Nothing makes sense in these C-based languages, not even numbers. 0123 is actually 83.
They tried to solve these problems by switching to Java, but that didn't help. It just made more concepts ``advanced''. They said that garbage collection will fix everything and pointers are an advanced concept. Now they're blaming OOP, garbage collection, object references, static typing, etc.
Now Java is too hard and they are replacing it with JavaScript. Students think ``hard to learn'' means it's advanced concepts, but it could also mean that the concepts are ruined by a bad language.
