What is the general attitude toward turing as the next language to use
in intro cs classes?  and more generally, as a substitute that enables
a one language approach towards classes in data structures, file
processing, assembler, and other "core" courses (which would minimize
the learning curve when moving to C, C++, Euclid, ...).
