We challenge the idea that a course intended to convey principles of languages should be structured according to those principles, and present an alternate approach to teaching a programming language course. The approach involves teaching emerging programming languages. This approach results in a variety of course desiderata including scope for instructor customization; alignment with current trends in language evolution, practice, and research; and congruence with industrial needs. We discuss the rationale for, the course mechanics supporting, and the consequences of this approach.

新兴语言：教授编程语言的另一种方法

我们挑战旨在传达语言原则的课程应该根据这些原则来构建的想法，并提出一种替代方法来教授编程语言课程。该方法涉及教授新兴的编程语言。这种方法产生了各种课程需求，包括教师定制的范围；与语言演变、实践和研究的当前趋势保持一致；并符合工业需求。我们讨论了这种方法的基本原理、支持的课程机制以及后果。
