in reply to Ancient Philosophy And Programming Languages

Looks like you're not talking about C++ but C only. C++ has a string type, and you can easily have everything as an Object (just like Java does for int -> Integer). I'd say C++ has some Aristotilian characteristics because of the C compatibility, but what was added (real C++, not C-style C++) is far more Platonic oriented. Imho not a good example to illustrate your (interesting, btw :)) discussion.
