> some significant portion of the industry starts to take notice that things like Google Maps can be built and (some) people start to consider that maybe if they actually took the time to learn the language and platform, they could do neat things too.... It's a Turing-complete language. If you can do neat things in one Turing-complete language, you can do neat things in all of them. The only difference is how painful it is to do neat things in one Turing-complete language vs. another. Just because it's Turing-complete doesn't mean it's a good example of a Turing-complete language.
