* do not teach languages that have concurrency models that really support it*
I don't know that I agree with that at all. My first college CS class taught Java, definitely supports concurrency. It's not Erlang-like concurrency, but concurrency nonetheless.
Theres a trend to start teaching Python as a first language, that supports it as well.
