Teaching materials is easy to create.
My response is the response I got from my institution.
It is industry usage which is the problem.
Nobody wants to take the risk without being able to point and say "they"
are using it for some serious work.
Let me take you back to 1994.
Universities teaching Scheme, Miranda, C++, or if they were a bit backward
Pascal or even Modula-2. Java comes along and all universities switched to it
and created vast amounts of teaching material. Absolutely no industrial take
up at all.
You're forgetting one crucial detail. The people making the decisions
now, are not the same ones back then.
I have repeated what I was told using all the same arguments presented
in this thread and I am only relaying it here their response. It isn't
my opinion.
