I think you guys are not actually reading what I wrote - I'm all for the rigor, I'm all for the theory. There is just no reason to not make things more relevant and practical since you have to pick a language/focus/domain for any given class anyway - no matter how theoretically focused it is.
For the Data Structures comment, please see the second sentence that begins with "The concepts are what matter in DS...".
What I am saying is, how about a new language? It would be super cool to have to rectify Data Structures theory with the real world issues of something like Javascript.
For the other comment about keeping things static, you know there was a time all these course were taught in Assembly. So are you arguing we should have never even evolved past that?
Anyway, I was hoping more for fun/brainstorming/idea generation. How might I have worded it differently to get that instead of shallow objections?
