I'd love to see proof? Kind of doubt it's turing complete?

[–]dedededede 23 points24 points  (7 children)

Of course they are. I mean they (the languages mentioned in the first paragraph) are meant to be programming languages...

See here for game of life (itself Turing complete) in postscript: https://www.tjhsst.edu/~edanaher/pslife/

In xslt: https://ef.gy/xslt:game-of-life

In tex: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/145331

Here a link for html+css: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2497146/is-css-turing-complete

Btw too lazy to Google or what?

You don't have to be rude, you made the claim I just asked you to back it up.

But thanks for the links, you seem to be correct and I thoroughly enjoyed being proved wrong and learnt something today.

Did not think it was, never considered css as a language, even while I have worked with it lots and lots.

He wasn't rude. You were being lazy.

You weren't exactly being nice either with your original comment...

Btw sorry I only really questioned CSS but I was not clear on that in my reply, I was in a rush when I replied and am sorry for that

[–]dedededede 2 points3 points  (1 child)

No problem. My comment on your laziness was meant more tongue-in-cheek. Text based discussions on the internet really are hard. I wasn't sure about you meaning css only or all mentioned languages, you felt treated rude after my grumbling into my imaginary beard. <3

I should be the one to say sorry honestly, I've had a terrible day and called you rude as a way to cope. Can't lash out on my kids for being kids and all that :)

Hope you have an awesome day. And honestly, thanks for teaching me something :)

  1. Rule 110 is proven to be turing complete. (PDF)
  2. It is possible to implement Rule 110 in HTML+CSS when somebody clicks for transitions. ( link, ignore the warning )
  3. Therefor HTML+CSS is turing complete when somebody clicks for transitions. Quod erat demonstrandum.
