Abstract
Programming languages as a required course is disappearing from undergraduate computer science programs. This is not surprising given that the course often proves to be challenging for faculty to teach and unpopular among students. The author argues that the best way to convince departments to retain this material is to emphasize the benefit to undergraduates of stretching their understanding of programming early in their careers.
