Universities should just switch all their curriculum to Javascript. IF students want to learn esoteric stuff like C, they can do it on their own time.

don't you faggots ever get tired of posting absolute and utter shit thinking you're funny
How about a counter argument
To switch away from "esoteric" stuff like C they'd have to include it in their curriculum first.
You won't find C outside of microcontroller programming, and that's where everything besides C would be esoteric.
JavaScript is the second language in widespread use with most idiosyncrasies right after C++. Teaching it to beginners is a bad idea, it would just confuse them. Teach them Python, it's more intuitive and more consistent.
Or F88-F90 since it's trivial.
Or Lisp for pretty much the same reason but with more concepts.
test
Javascript is used way more than any other language. Those charts are based on commits from github, which are filled with Richie wannabee incels. Actual businesses are using JS
>EE guys programming microcontrols in JS
So? Universities are not there to serve the industry. In fact, universities are self-serving. Every notion of practicality is (supposed to be) smoke and mirrors set up by academia to keep the tax money flowing.
By that logic all of CS should be taught in mathematical notation and automata turing machines.
How do you think they teach the theoretical part?
yes? Exactly? To be fair I come from a country where universities are strictly separated from so-called "universities of applied sciences" which essentially are engineering-centric. If your studies do not cover all canonical theory of your field in sufficient depth, it does not belong on a university period.
They don't ?
javascript is more esoteric than c
C is a good language to learn because it let's you get close to the hardware. You can also learn how things work underneath the hood of many different programs/programming languages that are written in C/C++.
>esoteric
C is simple. Not hard to learn.
Python is not intuitive. Shit spacing handling makes kids wonder why it doesn't work.
Nobody needs to learn NiggerScript
>all of CS should be taught in mathematical notation and automata turing machines.
This should be taught early, yes. And it should be referenced to keep students sharp.
Fuck C.
It's old and its history is fully of privvy whites.
JS and Ruby is all we need.
>It's old
So? A language's merit should not be based upon how old it is.
>and its history is fully of privvy whites
In that clause you have one grammatical mistake and one typo.
But, I don't see the problem with whites mainly using the language.
>JS and Ruby is all we need.
Fuck no.
Oh so like when I come here to learn Fortran
tip your fedora elsewhere sir
>Universities should just switch all their curriculum to Javascript
why?
