Most universities I knew were still teaching Java well into python's rise to popularity a decade ago. Python got where it is by focusing on being simple, easy, and nice to use. Seriously take a look at PEP-20 sometime:

Things like "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." just was such a breath of fresh air in language design.
