36,000 engineering students from IT related branches took [the test] over 2/3 could not even write code that compiles The information missing from the report is: 1. What stage in their IT education were they in? 2. Was the test given in a language the students were meant to be familiar with? I've been programming professionally for over 15 years, yet I wouldn't even be able to write "Hello world" in Haskell without having to look up a tutorial - because I've never used Haskell.
