Part of the Georgia Tech culture is that people like to complain. (This is
true for the faculty as much as the students.) Anyway, having a good sense
of humor about these things, I was peeking at
http://www.studentsreview.com/GA/GT_c.html and ran across this quote:
'Before I came I heard the school was good for Computer Science -- it is
afterall the biggest single major at the school. However, this is not a
Computer Science school, and they teach you useless languages such as
"Squeak", which you'll never use again in your life.'
[Aside to Mark Guzdial: If hoping you have a good sense of humor about
this... :) ]
This got me thinking... what would it take to convince college students
that Squeak is as cool as we think it is? Make them understand that C++ is
not the bees knees?
