Are college professors teaching computer science with ruby?

R

ruby talk

I don't think that the languages are as important as knowing how to
solve the problem. I know that each language has its pro's and cons
and some are better for specific things.
I feel that the only true difference is syntax. Instead of learning a
specific language students should learn how to learn different
surtaxes.

I learned how to program c++ in high school, and continued using it in
college. I had to teach my self ruby, java, php, lisp, VB, C#. I do
not clam to be a pro in each of these, but if i need to do something i
know what the syntax looks like, and i can research the information i
need.

My teaches like the phrase "Learn to learn". I dont like it, but
students who like to learn will teach themselves. I found ruby by
accident, and now love it.
