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!
