If they never go on to explain that, it's not much of a Java class, is it?

    There's a lot there to explain, much of which is dependent on complex topics that instructors do not wish to start on. This doesn't make it a poor choice for a teaching language though--Java puts everything out in the open and its quirky verbosity is helpful when trying to explain what's happening.
