As long as you believe that the only outcome here is "programmers" then you 
are totally missing the point.  Programing turn out better skills in 
organization, critical thinking, problem solving, and logic.  Do you believe 
that learning typing is only going to turn out secretaries the can only make 
coffee and send out letters or that learning Math is only for future Math 
teachers?
