No subject

to see Python being taught in colleges/universities, but not as the
first language. Rather, I'd imagine some sort of Python workshop
course, where students are assigned different topics, and then do some
presentations to the class. Python is valuable as a door opener to
many fields in modern software development. But I have my reservations
about its suitability as the first language to learn. Maybe it's just
me, but I have been horrified by programmers writing a few lines of
code, without realizing their few lines of code can actually have
severe impact on the RAM or the harddrive. I still feel more
comfortable if the new generation of programmers starts with a
language closer to the machine level, where one can kind of "feel" the
bits and bytes. Just my 2 cents. :)
