Yes, all languages are turing complete, but....
Carlos points to a bunch of pages that describe how to implement features of various higher level languages in Java, or by creating a new language based on Java. While it's true that its useful to know how these features can be simulated, to me it's like saying that all general purpose languages are complete. Plus he left out the most important one: how to do macros in Java so that all the embedding and simulation can be hidden. I want my language to be expressive from the get go. I don't want to build these features in by emulation, and I don't want to use a pattern if I'm just working around deficiencies in the language.
