Oh DevRant community, I've come seeking for help and wisdom.
In my university the basic programming course uses Java and it's getting a bit outdated. The class has a lot of resources, like online videos and examples, but teachers from other departments say that the class doesn't teach students correctly.
I'm a student at that university, and I'm working in a group tasked to diagnose the class and seek for possible solutions. I need to know if some of you know about tools used to teach programming and algorithmic thinking in an interesting way at a university level. Something like Scratch or Karel, but for university students. If you have an example university I would love that!

    python?
    Both as a joke and seriously
    easy syntax, no blobs, no shit
    if it is mathematics uni, then haskell would be a pretty good choice

    @lo98be we are looking for tools more than languages. Like something that helps to develop algorithmic thinking rather than a specific language. But yeah we are probably going to switch to Python.

    @Woklos Nah, a great starting language is Haskell. If they are stupid, it will weed them out. If they don't quit, they are sure to become gladiators in the field.
