And I taught the same course for two semesters after A.M. did, in 2003 
and 2004. I think we both found that it's not too difficult to have a 
great time teaching a bunch of people Cocoa when they're already 
talented programmers. Why should it matter what languages and 
environments get taught in universities? Good CS curricula should be 
largely orthogonal to any implementation detail.
