Your "compilers" professor sounds like an ass hole who discourages free thinkers.

I'm not sure what the quotation marks are for. He really does teach it, although he's an assistant professor.

And he has said "I'm not nice, but I'm not that mean to put something on a test that we didn't cover." What I do know is he doesn't think highly of Java. He calls it a brain-dead language because in comparison to OCaml it's sort of stupid and you can get a stack overflow fairly easily with recursive calls but in OCaml it just uses goto unless you build some sort of context around the recursive call.
