University programming education is a dumpster fire. Teaching C++ as "C with classes" amounts to malpractice and student abuse, and in a better world would generate dismissals and even lawsuits.
Beginning students are, by definition, by far the least well equipped to understand what would be most beneficial to learn. That universities fail to step up is a disgrace. Those students who learn Rust instead of C++, or "C with classes", will graduate very poorly equipped for what will be expected of them.
