My first programming class was Java. That was 8 years ago. Maybe the curriculum designers thought Java would be relevant for the workplace? The education system always lags several years behind industry trends.

My first programming was also Java. That was...27 years ago! That's some lag.
> 27 years ago!

Sometimes, I feel like I'm the only old guy on here. BASIC, VB6, .NET, and some Java along the way.

Too many new ones to list, although that might be a whole other problem in itself.
