But what if you think that there is far more to programming than OOP? That 
functional, constraint, and logic programming are equally important 
"paradigms"? Personally, I'd prefer my intro programming course to be in 
Scheme, using Abelson and Sussman's text. Maybe it doesn't have teach the 
methodology du jour, but I found that the material in that book has hardly 
aged since I took the class about a decade ago!
