If two programming languages are


Turing Complete
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_completeness

, and

Resource Complete ( ability to handle computer and operating system
resources ) ,

then , they are theoretically EQUIVALENT .


Differences are in details :

Syntax of statements ,
Availability of reusable libraries ,
Availability of compilers and other programming tools ,
Availability of programmers knowing the language ,
Support in different operating systems , i.e. , portability ,
Advantages with respect to problem at hand ,
etc .



Thank you very much .
