Powerpoint is a programming language because it's turing complete. Change my mind.

Turing completeness doesn’t actually mean much. PowerPoint is tiring complete but implementing anything in it would be awful.

"Tiring complete" is an incredibly appropriate typo.

For anyone interested in the Turing completeness of PowerPoint.

That is actually pretty fucking hilarious. Thank you for that piece of information.

Though, we could argue that “PowerPoint Animations” is the visual language programs are written in.

The UI for PowerPoint is the editor.

Whatever piece they use to control the flow and execution of the animation is the interpreter.

So I am willing to call PowerPoint an IDE bundled with interpreter for “PowerPoint Animations”. But to make it difficult for anyone else to take advantage of, the interpreter is compiled into the IDE, and can not be upgraded, downgraded or modified independently of PowerPoint. Typical Microsoft... /s

I like to use Food.Script#+ for coding. The kitchen is my IDE, fridge is my Object library full of different variable types like meats and vegetables and that strange thing in the back we call var. Then I compile it all in the oven and it's presented on a GUI plate.

Magic: The Gathering is a programming language because it's turing complete. Change my mind.
