There is no reason to subject someone learning how to program to Java. The amount of conceptual scaffolding required to do even the most basic tasks is stupidly large. It has a place in a survey class, I suppose, where professors with COBOL experience are approaching superannuation, but for all that's holy, keep it away from young minds.
