Turing Complete is not a very high bar. Add a second stack to a pushdown automata and its Turing Complete. Add two counters to a NFA and it’s Turing Complete. I am not sure if folks know what this means.


Yes. Judging from the HN discussion of a very similar list a week ago, a loud minority confuses “not Turing complete” with “sandboxed”. Hence lots of discussions about security that seem to miss the point.
