If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

still not the one I was originally looking for. It was a cartoon with a UI even more cluster-elephanted than that and with the guilty party going "what are you talking about? I am a user." or some such.

Artificial intelligence is making human speech as malleable and replicable as pixels. Today, a Canadian AI startup named Lyrebird unveiled its first product: a set of algorithms the company claims can clone anyone’s voice by listening to just a single minute of sample audio. "Don't believe everything you hear"

If they would've named it SnapVoice they could've done an IPO for $15 Billion.
Everyone on earth and beyond will want this technology immediately. I'm buying stock in it before it goes IPO.
By the time you read this, I'll be rich and retired.

Who'da thunk it?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

CS 106A is Stanford University’s introductory programming course. The module – which is also available to view on YouTube – introduces the fundamentals of coding in an accessible way, and lays the foundations for future growth. Everyone knows APL should be people's first language

And they replaced it with JavaScript

Yeah. Not the direction I would have gone if you want to teach good programming ideas.

It could be argued that it could be ideal for teaching to code around the defects in a language.

Why not? It's an easily accessible language, which is the point. Java, C#, D, F#, C++ etc are not. Scripting languages are far more easily accessed than statically typed and compiled languages.
Even "C" is not as accessible.
The point is to get people going. Get them understanding and hooked. Once they get the basic concepts, then introduce more formal languages like Java and C#.

We are talking about University courses here. Accessibility is far less important than learning good coding habits and JavaScript is simply horrible language for that purpose.

Python may be a much better choice, or just about any other dynamic language.
(excepting PHP or Perl of course)
