"""
One problem is that Computer Science departments simply do not have
the time to teach everything they need to teach.  Students want to
leave in 3 years with qualifications an employer will like, and
employers want 'practical' languages in CVs.  I have a colleague
who cannot spell because he was taught to read using the Initial
Teaching Alphabet, so I'm less convinced about the educational
benefits of neat languages than I used to be.

Would that not be the same problem with a Python-like teaching language?
