I'd tend to give Turing-completeness a bit more credit where it's due Turing completeness is a fun topic for conversation, but it doesn't stand up to practical application. That is, every language has a point of diminishing returns regarding expressivity vs. possibility. JavaScript falls somewhere on the spectrum with things like Underscore.js and Coffeescript providing increasingly more bang for the buck. If you were truly such an adherent to the Turing completeness trap then I would be a sad panda without the clear expressivity gains that Underscore and Coffeescript provide.
