Any Language in a storm...... (Score 2, Insightful)

University does *not* teach you to program. Employers know (or should know) this, so don't worry about that.

My gut feeling is that the more languages you learn, the less you are locked into one way of thinking. The only language that every computer science major needs to learn is assembler. Many Universities do not teach assembler and the students come out with some weird ideas about how computers actually work.

Most of my work is in C, and my concept of hell is teaching pointers to comp sci students who have only worked in java :(
