Every intro to CS course I've ever been in has been in C++, it has always saddened me to see Java being the intro level course today. Now to see Python at the top of the chart makes my head want to explode.
- jiggy2011 12y agoI'd rather it by Python than Java to be honest. In the same time it takes to teach Java you can probably teach Python and C.
- eru 12y agoJust don't try teaching C++.

- mattlutze 12y agoI learned C++ first, then Java, then more recently Python. I really feel like I'd have rather had Python or Java first instead, if only because being concerned about all of the strict formatting and structure in a C++ program puts a level of unnecessary complexity in front of the goal: to introduce a person to programming logic and solving problems with programs. Those complexities are certainly important, mind you. But not as important as clearly opening the mind to the way a programmer thinks, IMO.
