I forgot to mention that this was back in 1990-1994, before Java came
along.  Nevertheless, even now, it is ML, not Java, that has replaced
Scheme in Introduction to Computer Science, so the trend seems to be
more toward functional programming in a first course, rather than
object-oriented programming.
