2. Turing (programming language) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_(programming_language)

   program in Turing with syntax highlighting: put "Hello World!" Turing avoids semicolons and braces, using explicit end markers for most language constructs instead, and allows declarations anywhere. Here is a complete program defining and using the traditional recursive function to calculate a factorial.

3. Turing completeness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_completeness

   In computability theory, a system of data-manipulation rules (such as a model of computation, a computer's instruction set, a programming language, or a cellular automaton) is said to be Turing-complete or computationally universal if it can be used to simulate any Turing machine [1] [2] (devised by English mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing).

4. TeX - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX

   TeX82 also uses fixed-point arithmetic instead of floating-point, to ensure reproducibility of the results across different computer hardware, [9] and includes a real, Turing-complete programming language, following intense lobbying by Guy Steele. [10] In 1989, Donald Knuth released new versions of TeX and Metafont. [11]

5. Turing machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine

   Turing completeness is the ability for a computational model or a system of instructions to simulate a Turing machine. A programming language that is Turing complete is theoretically capable of expressing all tasks accomplishable by computers; nearly all programming languages are Turing complete if the limitations of finite memory are ignored.

6. Halting problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem

   The halting problem is a decision problem about properties of computer programs on a fixed Turing-complete model of computation, i.e., all programs that can be written in some given programming language that is general enough to be equivalent to a Turing machine. The problem is to determine, given a program and an input to the program, whether ...

7. Brainfuck - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck

   Brainfuck is an example of a so-called Turing tarpit: it can be used to write any program, but it is not practical to do so because it provides so little abstraction that the programs get very long or complicated. While Brainfuck is fully Turing-complete, it is not intended for practical use but to challenge and amuse programmers.

8. m4 (computer language) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_(computer_language)

   provides programming language capabilities; Unlike most earlier macro processors, m4 does not target any particular computer or human language; historically, however, its development originated for supporting the Ratfor dialect of Fortran. Unlike some other macro processors, m4 is Turing-complete as well as a practical programming language.

9. List of programming languages - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages

   This is an index to notable programming languages, in current or historical use. Dialects of BASIC, esoteric programming languages, and markup languages are not included. A programming language does not need to be imperative or Turing-complete, but must be executable and so does not include markup languages such as HTML or XML, but does include domain-specific languages such as SQL and its ...
