    Why data structures weren’t in C/C++? It would make sense to care about structures, cache locality, SoA/AoS, indirections and stuff in some language that compiles in native code.

      Ah, I phrased that ambiguously - it was in C++, all of our computing theory type classes were.

      I just got distracted realizing I graduated proficient in 9 languages and reasonably comfortable in another 3. 2 were from internships, but the rest were all from coursework. The last couple years, I was juggling 2-4 at all times, plus the odd scripts

      I always thought I was really good at picking up and switching languages, but I just realized my program was designed that way.

      That feels like a lot, do other colleges do something similar?

      (I guess you could knock off 3 because we ended up switching every semester in software engineering because cross platform apps were pretty bad at the time)
