I always found scheme to be a clean slate where no one’s high school experience benefited them in the first year. My program did Java for the second course, which was very popular in industry and I loathed it. I do think Python is not so bad to standardize on because it’s stood the test of time and is one of the most popular ways to write code for many disciplines and has applications outside of computer science so it helps everyone that takes the cs requirement even if they aren’t a cs major. What im saying is Python can even serve as a better version of spreadsheets for folks that aren’t cs.
