Hi Qi, have a look at brainfuck language. Its turing complete as Python, Haskell, etc are. Then you'll learn that the quesntion "Can I do everything possible" is not at all important. You have to ask instead: Can I complete my task in reasonable time and with reasonable runtime performance etc.

I use Haskell for everything. In fact, I will be approaching my 10 year anniversary of using Haskell as my primary development language soon. The only area I have had any trouble with Haskell is doing realtime music synthesis. And only because the garbage collector is not realtime friendly. That
