This is quite correct. The real problem with JavaSchools is the lack of higher-level concept exposure... things like higher mathematics, machine learning, combinatorics, really deep algorithm analysis, etc. We all have supercomputers on our desks and we're using them to do stupid stuff because most programmers don't know enough real theory to make them do better. Programming languages are more of a pragmatic choice. You can do cool stuff in C, Java, C++, Python, etc. I care more about what you do than what language it's in.
