Do what, exactly? Are you saying that simple languages can't "do"
what more complicated ones do?
They're all turing equivalent, so you could write the same thing in
Brainfuck as you could in FORTRAN, but I'm pretty sure you would
rather work in FORTAN 66. The same comparison works with modern
languages to put FORTRAN 66 on the losing side.
