Re:Does the language really matter? (Score 1)

For me personally, a person whom went to university and learned c/c++, java, assembly etc etc learning a language and learning how to code is two different things which is why I would have to agree that people either understand the problem at hand (what a OS/coding is) or wanting to put the time in to learn the problem. I still use allot of languages in my day-to-day living, and find each language as interesting and useful as the next in its own context, but to say that Java is damaging students I would have to disagree, it is the students that want to learn or have the ability to learn about what the course/class they are doing, not one language can text a student that is not willing or unable to grasp the fundamentals of what coding/OS etc is. IMHO
