The main class of non-turing-complete programming languages that I think of are languages that don't allow infinite loops. Consider a variation of your favorite programming language where every looping construct had to have a maximum count. With each iteration, the count decrements, and when it reaches 0, the loop terminates^[What happens when a loop terminates in this manner is irrelevant to this discussion. The program could continue, an exception could be thrown, the program could immediately terminate, or something else so long as there's no escaping the requirement that the program terminates.]. This can be extended to recursion pretty trivially. This language would not be turing complete, because turing machines allow infinite loops. But on the other hand, a whole lot of what you might want to do with a programming language could still be done with this language, and it certainly would not be something you could characterize as a markup or query language.

As to whether this violates the definition of a programming language, I'm not aware of a widely agreed upon definition of what a programming language is. And languages like Rocq, Agda, Epigram, and Charity which require that programs terminate have long been described as programming languages with no push-back that I am aware of.

someone on the internet got dopamine

Much appreciated!

In all seriousness, I woke up this morning and felt bad about how mean my comment was. It's not like it's a huge mistake and it's (I think) a pretty common misconception mostly borne from the murky boundaries of the category of programming languages. Thank you for your grace in handling it, I'm sorry I was a jerk, and I'll try to do better from now on.

They read the green dragon book (although the internet could be argued to predate it)

Always disappointed to see an organization stooping to cooperate with an authoritarian regime. Shame on you China.

All programming languages are turing complete.

The Wikipedia article you linked literally has a section called "Non-Turing-complete languages" that lists multiple non-turing-complete programming languages

100%, republicans are way worse than democrats. To be clear I'm not an accelerationist, I find it repugnant.

And if that’s the case, does that mean 2^Aleph_0 is bigger than any aleph number?

I don't believe so. I think that it means (or at least could mean) ZF without C is incomplete with regards to this question, the way that ZFC is incomplete regarding the continuum hypothesis.

It's wild to think that the political valance of this has flipped 180 degrees. Not long ago, I would have assumed that this was done to trigger the libs.

Have you read the Nausicaa manga? It's really good.

@dessalines@lemmy.ml or the other lemmy devs might be willing to discuss accessibility improvements to the web UI, assuming you are also willing to do that

  • Substack's founder says it will not remove white supremacist and Nazi blogs from the platform.
  • Some of these blogs have paying subscribers, which means Substack likely profits.
  • The heart of the issue is not the free speech; it's the money.

The newsletter-hosting site Substack advertises itself as the last, best hope for civility on the internet—and aspires to a bigger role in politics in 2024. But just beneath the surface, the platform has become a home and propagator of white supremacy and anti-Semitism. Substack has not only been hosting writers who post overtly Nazi rhetoric on the platform; it profits from many of them.
