They teach java because, it is one good programming language to understand theory. Proper object-oriented programming.
Java is not a legacy at all lol. What do you think enterprise software is written in? API management, Identity Management, Open banking, Enterprise Service Bus, Stream processing -> everything is done using primarily in java.
I can list 500+ (1M - 1B revenue) companies here that use Java.

I use perl extensions for the rxvt-unicode terminal emulator.
Nice article. Do you guys think node.js / mean is really going to pick up that much? In 2020 it still doesn't even represent 1% of the http market.

If you're doing anything with text - parsing log files, data munging or anything on the command line, it's still hella relevant. Perl was & is pretty amazing, it biggest problem was that it just tried to be too many things.
If you focus on what it's good at, it's still a great tool. I'd dare you dream of something that someone hasn't written a CPAN module for.
Of course, now it's called Raku or some BS. Why can't things stay the same?
