This, this, this. So much this.

Back when I was in uni, Sun had donated basically an entire lab of those computers terminals that you used to sign in to with a smart card (I forgot the name). In exchange, the uni agreed to teach all classes related to programming in Java, and to have the professors certify in Java (never mind the fact that nobody ever used that laboratory because the lab techs had no idea how to work with those terminals).

As a result of this, every class from algorithms, to software architecture felt like like a Java cult indoctrination. One of the professors actually said C was dead because Java was clearly superior.

In our uni (around 1998/99) all professors said that except the Haskell teacher who indeed called Java a mistake (but c also).

Turns out everyone was completely wrong except for that one guy working in Haskell.

Tale as old as time.
