You don't take Computer Science if you want to learn to program [languageName]. Computer Science is theory; and while you will use some programming language to explore the theory: it's not there to teach you a programming language.

If you want to learn to program, there are plenty of college level associates degrees for that.

Get ahold of Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming three volume set. He didn't even bother with a real language; but made up a hypothetical assembly pseudo-code language in order to explore concepts, algorithms, and costs.

tl;dr: Computer Science is to programming as architecture is to plumbing.

Yeah, that's my point.. I was looking in Knuth's book for examples..
