This paragraph spoiled whole article for me. I fail to understand how switching Scheme for Python relates to ethics?
"A few years ago, MIT changed its intro computer science course away from the traditional (and brilliant) class that used Scheme to one that used Python..(snip).. the professors who wrote the course indicated that for today's software engineers, learning to code isn't enough. You also need to learn topics such as ethics."
