Yes, in one sense (the important one: how we get stuff done, in sensible

No, in another sense (theoretical Turing equivalence yadda yadda which

It's not really a fair comparison as we
expect a "modern" language to
do much more than FORTRAN 66.
Do what, exactly? Are you saying that simple languages can't "do"
what more complicated ones do? Does the simplest---machine code, do
less than, any HLL, modern or ancient? Is C less capable than
Python?
