On the other hand, more and more people are learning Haskell at the university. Though it aims at different things than Scheme, I do not consider this sad at all.
I consider the teaching of any proper functional language (Lisp-based (without CLOS, eh), ML-based or Miranda-based) a good thing.
But, python, bweh! (Yet, I had Scheme *and* VBA as a freshman. Both were cool, but I still preferred ASM at this time.)
P!
