Yes, very aware. What I suggest was just an off the cuff idea to help spark ideas. CS is still too new to not have some evolution left in the curriculum. This really isn't controversial.

You are like the guy back in 1975 saying "...We don't need no stinking change from Assembly to C, this isn't a 'Learn How To Program Degree' don't you know..."

Assembly is fine, it's just not relevant anymore to a CS major. C and Java are still good but they are becoming less relevant was time marches on. Blah blah blah. Is thing on?

In fact, if waited and just said the same thing in 7-14 years or so, everybody would be saying "..<insert newer language here> for Data Strucutres?...no sh*#t, who programs in C or Java anymore?!?..."
