The move from Pascal to Java made a transition from learning how to program a computer to learning how to build apps using java-like OOP and libraries. Most places where Java is taught don´t teach about computer registers, stack frames, pointers, memory management, etc, and how they work together. Or if they do it they do it superficially.

Last I checked C is still taught in any serious CS curriculum.

Agree. But in the past it was also taught in no so serious places. Today it does not.
