Are computer programs in the world of forms or the world of being or the world of becoming? Are all programs just a reflection of one true, perfect form that is the concept of a program itself?

programs are a mental construct(a Form), an idea whose implementation is code(Thing). There is no base class of Program, because the ideas of computation on information take many Forms. What however exist is a Form of computer(a Thing that computes) and Form of(type of program(Operating System,Virus,Game,Utility,Compiler)) and a Form of primitive language which Programs are composed of(The Code,The Source).
Sorry, I'm of the empiricist Aristotelian school of computer philosophy. I reject your form bullshit and believe that data-gathering is the only way to form a good foundation for epistemological invrstigations. Ever read that Steven Wolfram book with all the cool pictures where he masturbates to himself for two thousand pages? Of course you didn't, and mostly neither did I, but basically that.
Platonic programming is even less well founded that the Socratic programming of trial and error, which will eventually produce something. Plato used to get enraged at geometers for the notion that operations were being done becaUse it polluted his static worldview bullshitte. He'd chug hemlock if he found out that there was an entire branch of mathmatics which deals with what happens when time and math meet directly. Have fun regurgitating the garbage spewed by that dumb pedophile and eating his ``Noble Lie", Platonist faggot.
