IN 2020, when I started my CS degree, we first learned Python and then quickly switched to Java for the remainder of the program.

Similar for electrical engineering - we first learned Java in basics of programming and later on python for math stuff

I started in 2003, learned C++, then did the majority of my courses in C++ with a class in Java with self-taught Python, C#, and PHP along the way for coursework.

Can someone fill me in, but is there still the derogatory "Java school"? I find that silly because most jobs in programming use some sort of managed memory programming language so teaching everyone in Java makes a lot of sense.
