COBOL has that too btw.

I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker but If I was starting out learning to program I would choose a language which is similar to others. Like one's mentioned. Java and C#. I was taught Java first. ( well technically Visual basic 3 years prior, but none of my former lecturers deem it worthy of being a programming language.)
But you're right. Come to think of it. Its not that big of a deal.

But if one really wants to know the computer and the science behind computer science, I recommend two things:
* some form of assembly language (68000 is fine, Z80 as well, 8086 too)
With this (plus some context) you learn how a computer works. Surprisingly many people don't have a clue about this. It will help you put things in perspective and have an idea about the cost (speed/memory) of things.
* lisp and forth (or my favorite, rpl which combines the beauty of both). you learn to program without having to worry about syntax, boilterplate and frameworks.

After some time to think about it. If we assume the web is eating the world, I would recommend to forget about Java and .Net and learn web development instead.
You can even learn web development with Java thanks to the Play! framework.
