I think this can be explained in terms of jobs: People taking computer science expect to get programming jobs and so concentrate on things they think will help them get good programming jobs. People with different focuses expect to get different jobs and so concentrate on things they think will help them do well in their own fields. Ironically, J can help tremendously in the design and architecture of programs even when another language is used for the actual implementation (typically because of interface or support requirements, but perhaps also because of informed or uninformed performance requirements or because of lack of familiarity with the language).
