Since last year a part of them (about one third) - the volunteers - are taught the functionnal approach, using Ocaml. They are doing fine, but one can see that most of them already know C or Pascal. By the way, it is a great pleasure to see how the understanding of such functions like fold is slowly coming to them :-) Later in the cursus (about the third-fourth year), there is a more "serious" functionnal programming course. The practical things are taught using Ocaml, SML or sometimes Haskel (with some deeper insight on the laziness), depending on the person who does the course.
