There is nothing one can't do in assembly that you can't do it in a higher-level PL.

The argument is not what one can or can't do.

The argument is that one world (dynamism) allows for higher throughput than a static-checked environment. This can be discussed but the "can do" argument is of no interest.

You "can do" anything given enough time. One doesn't even need a programming language. You can manually execute instructions by hand. But this is not the discussion.
