Carnegie Mellon Universities new undergrad curriculum has no mandatory Java courses. The students will be able to learn Java, but will not be forced to. In case you were curious, the intro class will be python, and then later classes will be ML and a new language that is a typesafe C (currently in development at CMU). After that, they'll learn C. Of course, CMU is just one school, but it definitely represents a departure (and the lack of any mandatory OO-focused languages (yeah yeah, Python HAS classes, but you don't HAVE to use them) is weird).
