title: Is there a good reason Uni courses still use "academic" languages like modula2?
body: <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2677247/tetris-rotation">This question</a> prompts me to ask - why do universities still teach in languages like Modula2, when improved modern languages are available for free? </p>
  
  <p>Are there uni's that still teach Pascal, for example?  I mean, it was good 30 years ago, but... now?  Why? </p>
  
  <p>Why not Java, C#, Haskell? </p>
  
  <p>Related: Is it backwards to still teach LISP?  </p>

  <p>Is this a duplicate question?  If not, I think it ought to be a community wiki topic.</p>
