I'm thinking of a graduate turning up for a modern programming position and opining:

> I know Delphi!

I would argue you can made good courses in any language and it would seem more convenient to teach in something that has better transferrability into industry.

Also the response is likely aggravated by this quote from the source article:

> a curriculum that has taken heavy damage from the adoption of Java and C# in the early 2K’s.

wut?



I have spent like ten years developing software in Delphi, and another ten years with FreePascal, but never managed to get an industry job :/
