My alma mater has gone to an entirely Java-based curriculum.  C/C++ are
never used.  There's one class which uses Scheme, but other than that
it's all-Java, all the time.

The only Assembly exposure they receive comes from a simulated RISC
processor running in a JVM.  Even by RISC standards, the simulated
processor is very simple.

By comparison, when I went through the course we learned Assembly for
Alphas.  (Ooooh.  256-bit quadwords.  Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice.)
