One question. Can you give me an example of Turing completeness with
just declarations?
If not, the description you refer to may be valid only when discussing

[Scripts, in the Unix world - and GNU is a Unix replacement - are
something almost Turing complete or Turing complete, depending on the
language used for the a given script]
