Yeah. It doesn't even have to be deliberate. A search engine company will be populated by the kind of computer programmers who are very very string-centric. Those guys might not even realise that they are being string-centric. At the other end of the spectrum, Pd users might not realise how much non-string-centric they are, or even, string-avoidant.
Pd is the most string-averse language I've touched since ColorLOGO: http://www.trs-80.com/covers/book-colorlogo(1982)(micropi).jpgBut that was a 8k ROM that also had to implement multithreading from scratch and had to do graphics and math on a CPU that not only had no FPU but also no division operator either.
