I didn't exactly take a full normal CS curriculum, but I did get the impression, back in the 90s, that there tends to be a cultural bias against any language you would use in industry. If there's any excuse not to use something practical, they won't. Knuth and (M)MIX is the extreme example. My college did all assembly language in MIPS.
