   Consider an BASIC (or any other) interpreter. When your language allows   
   to write such interpreters, the runtime behaviour depends only on the   
   input (code to interpret), not on the interpreter. When your language   
   doesn't allow for that class of applications, what other meaningful   
   applications would it support at all?
