My first year Java textbook had nothing concerning how to set up Maven/Ant builds/SpringMVC/JSTL/Enterprise JavaBeans/etc. It was about data structures and algorithms. I seriously doubt Stanford is going to teach Webpack/React/Redux. I don't think a college should cover a language in particular. Leave that for the job-place. Obviously some language differences/features can be beneficial. (Garbage collection vs Reference counting for example). Overall, college is place to be taught how to think about solving problems. So, it's just fine as a teaching tool. Then again, I still believe everyone's first language should be Pascal (like mine) as it's a wonderful teaching language.
