So okay yeah it's Turing Completeness that matters the most to me as computer science, on a purely pragmatic basis: When people are pitching the latest whiz-bang doodad, the answer is always, "This isn't doing anything we couldn't already do, so how does it make things easier and do it efficiently enough for our purposes?" That's the proper question when it comes to monads, coroutines, actors, non-blocking blah blah, etc. etc. That's really important in an industry saturated with hype, elitism and general nonsense. Anything I can do in Rust, you can do in Assembly, so I've got some explaining to do (I can probably succeed in this example, others maybe not). If Turing actually failed to deliver the goods on "completeness", I'd really like to resolve that. |
