In this case, I think the areas in which programming and CS are applicable has increased so greatly it's now more feasible to have them start from a more general abstracted area and chose their focus as they grow - learning the tools and theory they need for their chosen focus. If they start getting bogged down by more complex languages it prevents them from identifying after a year or two which areas they are interested in pursuing and focusing on.
