You can't teach children how to succeed at work by having them learn whatever language is trending in the industry, if only because things will have changed and they will be remembering very little of it by the time they will be adult and joining the workforce. You can teach children programming by using any language. You can do so even more effectively by teaching them many languages, to make them learn how to program rather than how to write code in language X.
