If The Philosophers Were Programmers

April 17th, 2009 | Categories: Philosophy, Technology

Developer On Line has a great post on philosophy and programming languages [HT: Slashdot].

Here’s a summary:

  • Socrates would have programmed in Assembly language
  • Aristotle would have chosen C
  • Plato would prefer C++
  • The Stoics would have gone for PERL
  • Descartes would be a Java guru.
  • Kant would have chosen Python (my choice also)
  • Wittgenstein would be a Haskell programmer.

The author also provides some interesting reasoning for these selections. It’s definitely worth a read.
