We did CS courses in C and C++ 22 years ago. I recently did an MsC program at the same University and most courses are being done using Java. But for assignments teachers allow any programming language - if the task permits - so I did mine in C#. Some colleagues used Java, one guy used Python.

How did they handle grading?
Not the commenter you were replying to, but at my uni it's usually feature based. Basically, you are evaluated on whether your code accomplished the task and not code quality.

I've never heard of people having that choice in intro classes though.
