I heard an anecdote from a colleague who was surveying undergraduate CS courses. The prof was explaining what the course was going to be about and said that the students could choose any language they wanted to complete the work something like C or Java or anything didn't have libraries for everything. A student wanted to know if this meant they couldn't use python. Prof said, ya, you probably shouldn't use python for this, too tempting to cheat. Grumbling, so prof asks, how many people actually know C, Java, or something like that? ~50% hands. How many only know Python? ~40% hands. These were CS majors, in an upper level CS course.
