My impression from Felleisen's talk is that the language that you teach in
does not make the difference. Remember he discussed how they came up with
Scheme without parens and everybody said "I don't care, parens were not a
problem." It is *what* you teach about the language (like, what concepts,
in what order etc.) and what environment you give to students that's important.
(I was too shy to say it, but now that Craig said it, I can, too :)
