> And if I'm just totally wrong on this, then you have your answer on why I never gave up on this project. I never once, ever, at any point, lost hope that it wouldn't work (HOW COULD IT?!).... right up until the very instant when I couldn't deny it anymore and it was on the screen in front of me.

Has this experience changed your way of thinking at all? It sounds like the thing people thought was possible actually was possible, and that Turing completeness really did mean what people thought it did.

I hope this doesn't come off wrong like but honestly - but the outcome on this project doesn't change my view one bit. it didn't make me dig in my heels either, but I strongly doubt it's possible in a human lifetime to do this with at least some of the other languages that have type systems that are considered Turing complete.
