> most wanted a practical language they could "get a job" with This was me in college. Especially early on, I kept hounding my professors why they weren't teaching a particular language (e.g., C++) or toolchain (Visual Studio). It wasn't until well after I graduated that I appreciated the distinction between using tools and making tools---and that my professors taught me the latter.
