> Why not just call it a primitive then? Well, while they're generally the same sort of thing, they can be different - in many languages, a string isn't really a primitive type but represents an instance of a String object or an array of characters, etc. I think the point of calling them "atomic" is to indicate that they don't have properties of their own that correspond to other objects. (atomic == indivisible).
