If the principles of languages like Erlang were taught in American school, things like this would be much likely to occur. Silly that Computer Science is regarded more highly by many than Software Engineering for Software Engineering jobs.
Ideas stemming from Erlang and Mozart/Oz are indeed a big blind spot in most undergrad programs. Sadly, even in EU all this is becoming a niche topic, which is weird as today's applications are more concurrent and data-intensive than ever.
