I guess I'm about 5 years removed from the experience, but I remember having classes that used Java, C++, C++11, C Sharp, some form of assembly (I'm struggling on remembering what languages we used in my embedded systems class, but it was more than one), and probably one or two things besides that.

It really did seem like there was a new language with every course. I don't specifically remember Python, but wouldn't be surprised if I forgot about when I first used it.

But I was not experiencing the intro-to-programming level with all these courses, as I had done that in my undergrad, some years earlier. And, at this point, I'm not entirely sure if it was Java or C++.
