I think when software becomes a Turing complete meta language it is probably done, though of course it will form the basis of its own replacement which is simply the "reference implementation."

    Mild disagree. Most spreadsheets are Turing complete, especially if they have one or more built in programming languages and have been for decades at this point, yet new "must have" features seem to get added to Excel with every release. Or that was the case until the recent "Office is no longer Office" debacle anyway.

    And programming languages themselves keep updating and changing.
