In fact, our entry level computer courses are all taught in a mixture of ML, Prolog and Pascal(??). The undergrad and graduate programming languages courses focus in a large part on functional languages. There are even plans to update the compiler course soon using ML as the meta-language( no pun intended.) Maybe we are singularly blessed in the US, but I doubt it. --a. leung CSNET: allen@sbcs.sunysb.edu
