You're thinking too much along the lines of "language x can or can't do y". See: Turing complete. Ultimately it all boils down to machine code. Programming languages avoid the tediousness of programming in that, express program flow in a more concise / elegant way, and manage complexity for the project at hand. How that's done, is a matter of taste, and how well the tools suit the job. Existing runtime environments (say, browsers with highly-optimized JS engine) are important here. > Show me what you made with this language - it will help me better understand the use case(s) and trade-offs. That's the spirit!
