Well the CS education I got at Waterloo certainly focused on teaching
programing techniques, not languages.  You were expected to figure out
the language a course used (if it used a specific one) on your own, and
in many cases the requirements for a course was just 'use a functional
style language' or 'use anything you want as long as this set of
requirements get filled'.  Maybe that is why CS students from Waterloo
tend to be considered very good programmers.  They learn to program, not
just to use a list of popular at the moment languages.
