That very well may be, but I think computer science departe departments
are relatively conservative in their choice of teaching languages, and
take quite a while to adopt a new teaching language.  Who knows... by the
time Java is a mainstream language used in CS courses, there may be other
newer languages that are the "hot-thing".
