Learning is investigating. By top-down I mean high level (cat,
dog, table sun, sky) to low level (molecules, atoms, fields ...).
And to know the lowest levels is not strictly necessary for
programming. I have seen good programmers who didn't know about
logic gates.

Don't nail me down on that stupid string, I know it's immutable but
didn't think about it when answering your post. Take <some mutable
replacement> instead.
