Yup, I made a mistake, should have thrown a 'most modern languages' instead. Oh well, my bad! As a silver lining at least someone on the internet got dopamine from a technical correction, so I already did my charity work for the day :)

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.

Honestly, modern isn't even relevant in that context. It's easier to make a useful tiring complete language than a useful tiring incomplete language. It's not like as time went on we discovered how to make tiring complete languages more easily. If anything, we stumble into more and more things that are turing complete as things go on because it doesn't take too much for it to be, things like video games and board games.
