Yesterday, I found an email from Jon Callas where he was giving advice on where SAML falls in the Chomsky hierarchy of languages:

"If it has backwards gotos in any form, it's Turing-complete. Loops, recursion, etc. are backwards gotos. If-then-else is a forward goto."

I hadn't ever thought of things that way, but I thought it was interesting.

Once you've worked in assembly language, you realize everything is just another form of jmp.
