Obviously, we're not teaching in the same environment and the same
thing. You may disagree, but that doesn't change anything about the
*facts*.

Students needs to get hands on materials, experiment with them, and
time does matter. As a C++ teacher, I have to teach them how to use
the STL, how to wirte template codes. I can't use old compiler for
that.
Please get real.
