This was my view once, but practically the languages have their own ecosystem strengths, now I think most of the major languages have similar concepts, async await, etc.. instead we now teach transfer your skills, and tbh I think it makes for a more interesting culture that's adoptive and excited by tech, and also learns better

software engineering is mostly a kludge of interacting with stuff people have made and will make, rather than physical limits of different materials and structures

stitching libraries together is the essense of soctware engineering
