Okay, but you know what else is Turing complete? BASIC. Bash script. Assembly. In 2017 I'm not sure that something being Turing complete should be considered a shocker, or even that meaningful.

Heck, I've seen people write whole programs just using clojure.spec which is supposed to be only for type annotations.




The -Type System- is turing complete, not talking about the language itself. So your first few comparisons are not quite fair.


Brainfuck is also turing complete ;)


I suspect whoever is downvoting you is not aware that Brainfuck is a real programming language :)


I think the joke is that the instructions in Brainfuck are the same as a Turing Machine. Tape left, tape right, increment, decrement etc.
