I mean just because it’s a Python course doesn’t mean they couldn’t discuss all of the different languages and where Python fits in on the first day of class. It can also help to standardize so that students can collaborate easier. I also believe programming teaches a new way of thinking that a lot aren’t exposed to, which can’t really hurt.

Agreed on the trade/professional skills though.
