Talk: http://fr.slideshare.net/jbmazon/turingcomplete

Most templating systems are Turing-complete, but a closer inspection reveals it's most often a cop-out hatch to the underlying language. I believe Turing completeness should be at the very core of any system designed to be used by programmers.

For my first actual talk at YAPC I reveal Acme::Template::TuringComplete, a templating system where Turing completeness is a foundational design element.
