Ask HN: What set of features make a programming language advanced?
Reading the comments from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23077992 it seems that people have different ideas on what it means for a programming language to be "advanced".
Given that most languages are Turing complete, what really makes a language "advanced"?
