Re:It Is What It Is (And Nothing Else) – Why Recursion Still... by mafribe on Monday February 22, 2016 @03:32PM (#11154046) 

    compare computations in brainfuck to computations in C.
I'd suggest that this is an orthogonal issue. It's better to compare two otherwise identical languages, one where Turing-completeness is achieved by loops, another where the same is done by recursion. (Or a language that offers both). Then formal reasoning is of the same complexity.
