Let’s be careful here. All these languages are Turing complete. Heck, isn’t CSS Turing complete now? But insofar as goto in C produces a certain small amount of CPU instructions (1? 2?), can all those other higher level languages do the same? Or will something like JavaScript need a callback-based solution that will do several pointer lookups, memory allocation, etc?
