For this challenge, you'll need to take a "language" that isn't normally used for math, logic, or other normal programming tasks (e.g., SQL, MongoDB, CSS, etc...) and try to prove that it's Turing Complete by making 2 of the following:

• basic calculator
  
• IO system
  
• conditional testing
  
• loop example
  

I'll be attempting this with SQL, something I've never used before CSS, so this should be fun

What do you mean by Input / Output system. Just like normal input and then any output or should it be related to what the input is? I'm willing to try this in python (if allowed since I'm currently learning it) or .NET or whatever.

Sounds like a fun challenge, thanks for posting.
I'll try this.

I don't think Python would be allowed.

By IO system I'm referring to a basic Input Output stream, meaning get input then print it. And neither Python nor .NET are applicable languages, as neither follow the guidelines, as @m0dem pointed out

Post your results.

P.S
CSS isn't turing complete. Although tricks can be used.

Did SQL not work out?

Did SQL not work out?

Pain in the ass to set up, and I'm not motivated enough

CSS3 + HTML5 is turing complete, but CSS alone isn't

I'd honestly consider ASM, Batch, and Lisp stupid and esoteric enough to use, so you might want to try one of those

Thanks for the suggestions.
