Re:Stanford's CS 101 course uses Javascript by roundsquare on Sunday July 10, 2011 @08:20AM (#2747643)
When I was a freshmen at Cornell (2002) there were two possible intro classes:

CS 101M was half java and half matlab

CS 101J was mostly java with a week or two of matlab (recommended for CS majors)

After this class (or the AP test) our next two classes to qualify for the major were in Java and SMLNJ.

Interestingly, our algorithms class (considered upper level but required) was purely theoretical (no programming at all).
