Is there a good reason Uni courses still use "academic" languages like modula2?
- by Cheeso
This question prompts me to ask - why do universities still teach in languages like Modula2, when improved modern languages are available for free?
Are there uni's that still teach Pascal, for example? I mean, it was good 30 years ago, but... now? Why?
Why not Java, C#, Haskell?

Is this a duplicate question? If not, I think it ought to be a community wiki topic.
