Question

I was having a conversation with someone recently about cryptocurrency,

and they mentioned they didn't think Holochain was competition for Blockchain because it wasn't 'turing complete' - essentially saying this was a bad thing. He tried to explain it to me, but I still didn't quite understand it. Can anyone confirm whether Holochain really is or isn't turing complete, and what exactly that means?

When someone makes a statement like that the appropriate response is “How do you know? And why does it matter?” A quick search of “Turing complete” and I couldn’t clearly define what that means. Generally it means that a computational system is able to perform any possible calculation you could conceive of. Early computing devices were specialized in what their functions are. For instance, an adding machine only does addition & subtraction. It doesn’t have the means to perform any other operations.

I didn't know whst Turing complete means, but doing a quick research, it means that a program has to be buildable in other languages other than the main one used. In the case of Holochain, I'm certain it could be built in any other language, but at the very expensive cost of time and effort by developers Rust is easily one of the best languages: scalable, future proof and secure. Enough for Holo and Holochain
