This times 1000 for CS ed. Students have "misconceptions" about Java when they expect consistent semantics, but reality is inconsistent (eg default values for objects vs. primitive types). That's NOT the same as physics ed, where the laws are unchangeable / not designed.https://twitter.com/lexi_lambda/status/1281739915164897281 …

Reading this stuff as a PL person always feels a little frustrating, since people write about langs like C and Java like they’re physicists documenting natural behavior and proposing models to explain it… but we invented these things!! They’re not discovered phenomena.
