Hi. I completely agree. C++ is there for very fine control and serves the purpose well (and is constantly adding more control, e.g. trivially relocatable). My biggest goal for a CS 101 class would just to build computational and critical thinking skills. I would love to just start off with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches[1]. As an engineering department, our students start with an engineering programming class that needs to also serve chemical, mechanical, civil, material, and biomedical engineers along with electrical and computer engineers(I hope I didn't leave anyone out).
