Is there a mainstream language where this still holds true?

From what I've seen most languages don't want to have a Turing complete type system, but end up with one anyway. It doesn't take much, so it's easy to end up with it accidentally and/or by adding conveniences that don't seem programmable, e.g. associated types and type equality.



pretty sure the C type system is not turing complete, but that doesn't necessarily make it superior
