I often read on the Internet - and I realise that I should know by now that it's not a good place to read things - that Idris isn't Turing Complete and can't be because it's dependently typed. I think I can guess where this idea comes from, but, in case of any doubt, it's Turing Complete. Of course it's Turing Complete. For goodness sake...

I once implemented Whitespace in Idris because I was the right sort of bored. People are happy to believe Whitespace is Turing Complete but Idris? No, couldn't possibly be, I mean it's dependently typed isn't it? (Of course it is. Stop it.)

Turing Completeness is overrated anyway. Pacman Completeness is where it's at.

@chrisamaphone That hadn't occurred to me, but yes I think it probably is isn't it?
