Hi Marin, great article!
I read it only today, my RSS reader hates me 😅.
I love to know that there are other developers fascinated by Turing machine, it’s an extraordinary mathematical model, and the Turing paper that describes them it’s mathematical art, it’s so elegant...

P.S.: I actually built a real, working, Turing machine for my high-school degree

Awesome! If you haven’t already, check out the book The Annotated Turing. It’s a full reprint of Turing’s paper explained sentence by sentence, with some interesting history behind Turing’s work. It’s a fun read.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll add it to my reading list immediately ✌🏻.
