The Grace Programming Language

I'm not a fan of Teaching languages, teach algorithms and clean concepts. It takes much time to get good at a language you might as well be using one to learn your algorithms with.

And not just the language but the Version Control, Libraries, Documentation Tricks, Culture, and Relationships that come with truly learning a Language.

At least version control and writing good documentation are orthogonal to the choice of language.

However version control is never taught in school.

Isn't? Both my Java course and the competing C++ course used Subversion.

(Well, at least for submissions).

Version control tends to be taught in the school of hard knocks.
