[comp.edu] Introductory Programming Languages

coms2269@waikato.ac.nz (Brent C Summers) (10/22/90)

Without meaning to start any religious wars: 

What programming languages are being used out there in introductory 
courses?

We (U of Waikato, NZ) have been using Pascal in all of living memory and 
are moving to Modula-2 for next year.  Rumour has it that one, possibly 
two other universities here are taking the same line, and I'm wondering 
what the larger trends are.  Is anyone out there using Ada?  Any of the 
OOP languages?  

Reply my email please, I'll post a summary.
