Decades of coding here.

Buildings neither are Turing complete, nor do the building blocks become obsolete every few years.

The closest analogue to software development is legislation.

Even the best written rules can have unintended consequences, and so we have tools to make the behavior ever more precise and less error-probe. But it’s never fool proof.

Also and like legislation, it’s the edge cases that balloon a proof of concept into monstrous sizes.

In some respects, for software to advance some components need to be less powerful. But we have this fetish for inventing yet another Turing complete language in the pro space, just because, and bolting on a million features.

It’s unnecessarily tiresome.
