C++ is hardly a simple language... try dealing with template code... then crazy preprocessor macros.. then its messed up class system. I agree it has its uses (for writing amazingly complex projects that would benefit from having OOP support but still need fast speed)

Java... well. This language seems to spark a flame war every single time its name is mentioned in certain IRC chatrooms.. so I'll leave it there..

I agree, although, one thing that I think it teaches well, is the ability to deal with closed source restricted platforms, and licensing issues. From my summer job, I've found out how important it is to understand proper licensing, so I think some of it is good practice. That said, I would love to see the entire control system open sourced.
This is why we even need to teach open source MORE. A lot of software out there should NOT be closed source. (example: pacemaker) We need to teach "the next generation of scientists and engineers" to do open source, to contribute to the society, rather than closing, patenting, and privatizing their findings. The best way to do that is by examples.
