In my US school we don't even write our own compiler in programming languages class. Europeans seem to learn a ton more.



I studied math at university, and did CS as a minor. They made me take data structure and algorithm classes for both.

The mathematician's version was half as long, but covered the material in more depth: ie they proved every result. The CS version was full of dumbed down and full of fluff. (And even those CS people did operating systems and compilers as undergrads.)
