| Mar 28, 2012 at 4:08 | comment | added | ephemient | @userunknown It's hard to imagine cat being a language, and besides this violates the spirit of the question (uses the language name directly). My comment was to refute the idea that "Cat isn't a real language, because it isn't Turing-complete". It isn't a language for other reasons, but Turing-completeness isn't a good deciding factor. | |
| Mar 27, 2012 at 10:55 | comment | added | user unknown | @ephemient: Cat is not only not turing complete, it isn't a language at all. It has no syntax, no grammer, no keywords. I don't know where bitmask got his definition - I don't follow it. | |
| Mar 27, 2012 at 6:43 | comment | added | ephemient | @kinokijuf There are plenty of useful languages which are not Turing-complete. See stackoverflow.com/q/8412741/20713 for a partial list. | |
