Yes it does answer your question.
1. Anything that can be solved in any one Turing-complete language can be solved in any other Turing-complete language.
2. Both of these are Turing-complete languages, so obviously anything that can be solved in one can be solved in the other.
3. Lots of domain-specific languages are also Turing-complete, so anything that can be solved in C++ or Objective-S can be solved in them and vice versa.
4. It thus follows that (a) "can be solved" vs. "cannot be solved" is not a useful criterion for distinguishing between Turing-complete languages. Or that (b) there are no relevant differences between Turing-complete languages.
5. My money is on 4a.
- mbrodersen 5y agoOK so the claim that Objective-S is more general purpose than other languages is wrong then. Thanks for clarifying that.
- mpweiher 5y agoNo it isn't. I could just re-post the post you replied to, as it is explained there, but that probably won't help at this point... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
