Can we just accept that javascript is as practically turing complete as any other language and move on with our lives? :P

  Not before coding EVERYTHING in 30 lines of JS or less!

    Someone needs to write a js interpreter in 30 lines of js and then maybe we can draw a line under all this.

    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.onreadystatechange = function () { if (xhr.readyState == 4) { eval(xhr.responseText) } } xhr.open("GET", "http://mywebsite.com/everything_doer.js", true); xhr.send();

      Surely you must know that the only acceptable equality checker in JS is "==="? "==" is for wimps :-)

        maybe he was being forward looking. version 2 needs some sort of bug fix and feature list.

  Turing completeness has little to do with it. JS was always Turing complete, yet these little exercises were not possible 5 years ago.

    Not desirable either. Not sure they are desirable now either.

    These little exercises that "were not possible 5 years ago" were released... about 5 years ago.
