I was a freshman at UT in 2002 in their CS program. I wish they had heeded Djikstra's advice. Java with BlueJ was what we were taught from day 1.

To the departments credit, we did end up taking a couple of courses in Haskell (the best one I remember was the course of compilers - we had to write a C lexer in Haskell). It was one of the more fun classes I took (thanks, in a great part, to the professor teaching us).
