An article (by me) that demonstrates how programming languages aren't equivalent, meaning, just because they're all Turing-complete, doesn't mean they're all equally powerful, and thus the argument that "the programming language doesn't matter" is inherently flawed and broken.

Main takeaway: Functional languages tend to be more powerful more generally, and that's because they're so expressive. Languages that aren't functional suffer poor expressiveness, especially compared to functional ones.
