I think it makes a lot of sense. Java's association
with Web programming makes it an ideal startup
language for new programmers, with a lot more
possibilities publication-wise and job-wise. I
also think that those new programmers will eventually
migrate to C/C++ with a view toward long-term goals.
But right now Java==instant gratification, while
C/C++==1,000,000's of lines of code.
