I also remember all of the courses taught in C (with some C++ for OOP). I find it really odd, though, working in a University environment and seeing the massive number of students in Java courses while IT is trying to limit the installation of the JVM on clients (especially Windows), as it's one of the major infection vectors on the campus (another being Flash). Personally, I learned Java for Android/Blackberry development (guess that makes it half dead for me), but I also learned Objective-C for iOS/OS X development. I don't really see myself using either for any other environment, though. I guess I'm just glad I never really dreaded learning/using any particular language.
