Windows for Submarines

But the university doesn't want small, inflexible brains.

All brains have a limited capacity! And a lot of factors affect how a
brain develops: genes, nutrition, circulation, digestion, external
simulation, injuries, ....

It only gives a good grade to the flexible, big-brained students.
Industry doesn't want people who have spent four years writing WATFOR
programs.

Yes, and this information technology industry has expired and fired a
lot of old programmers and maybe some programming languages. Some old
programmers switched field into management positions though, with
success. However, most managers and directors don't write programs, nor
check the quality of others' programs.

Anyone still writing Visual Foxpro and other dBase dialects? Any new
projects related to them?

When a new graduate enters the workplace, they're
supposed to be productive the very first day, in whatever
language they use.

COBOL and Java are still a mainstream programming languages in the
finance and banking sectors (now called FinTech). And then there are
Visual Basic and C#! C++ and C are still widely used in engineering sectors.

Students are recommended to take a look at job recruitment
advertisements and learn what programming languages have job vacancies.
Good teachers should also guide students on how to look for jobs.
