Actually I think it is even worse than that.

I would say "kids today often don't learn about compiler design and computer language's history".

Given my CS background, it baffles me how languages get mixed with implementations or language runtimes with VMs in current discussions.

I started coding in the mid-80s, we lacked the information access kids have nowadays with Internet, and yet most of us were quite aware what language design was all about.
