Work hard; increase production; prevent accidents, and be happy.

That would cause IndexOutOfBoundsExceptions, stpid VBbers using Option Base 1

Welcome Change
Students use all kinds of tools to solve specific sets of problems. For example, CS students may choose MatLab or Haskell or C or C++ or Java or C# or Python or....
The most important aspect of Channel 8 is the Student, not programming languages. We want to provide a place for technical students to call their home on the web; a place to meet and share ideas with fellow thinkers, and this means Channel 8 will be and provide, in time, many things that matter to students...

Bet? Students use what the course constrains them to use.

Depends on the course. We run plenty here in which the choice of language isn't relevant (as long as your not stupid enough to pick something that can't be demo'd in our labs - not everyone is) -

What's up with the weird responses here? There are already so many students on C9: take Sven as an example, or W3bbo or me.
@W3bbo: students use VB.NET, C#, C, C++, JAVA, JavaScript, Haskell, Prolog, ...
@Blowdart: Students use what they like + what is required at the course. Sometimes students even agree with profs to use the language of their choice even if the course requires them to use another one: for example use C# instead of JAVA. -

Yeah! Exactly.
It's important that the task is done. The limitation to a certain language is sometimes only there, because the tutors are good in one langauge or provide tutorials for the required features in that language...
I have been at many course where you had to take the given language, because they wanted us to code the things in a given paradigm (Haskell). Or the usage of another languge (or library) wasn't allowed because that library would have had the required stuff already build in. -

Well then you're lucky. All the OO courses I can take with my part time degree mandate Java. There are no other options.

You should've come to UEA.

I've spoken there actually. Bit hard to travel too.
The OU's excuse for using Java was they didn't want to be tied into one supplier. Except they mandate a particular compiler for each course. And the Sun JVM. Thus limiting it to one supplier.

I'd probably enjoy that more. And it would be fairer on everyone as, lets face it, no-one uses that day to day.
