I got into MIT, 4 year ago. Now I'm 200K in debt and I am forced to take a meaningless job in the financial sector to pay off student loans.

Our place is switching to Python too, now. It's a goddamn travesty.
They're currently using Java.

Python > Java. Just write your assignments in C, then use Python's sleek FFI stuff to actually make the call.

Why are so many places switching from Java to Python when C# has all the nice features of Python without SAF and wacky VB syntax?

Python can interoperate with Java code using Jython, and it has a free implementation that can run everywhere. C# only runs on the Microsoft .Net Common Language Runtime. (Mononucleosis does not count)

It's not about features. It's about clarity. These classes teach people how to program. How much of C# do they have to know for the program logic to be obvious to them?

Also, Haskell

if you're concerned with clarity, how would a language with VB-like syntax be better than one with C-like syntax? most people already know at least one language with C-like syntax.
the only people who already know VB are the idiots still using VB6.

Fixed that for you. Did you miss the part where they're teaching people how to program? Or maybe just the part where IHBT
