Presumably many libraries will be for domains that don't even exist yet. If SETI@home works, for example, we'll need libraries for communicating with aliens. Unless of course they are sufficiently advanced that they already communicate in XML.

Good one, Paul Graham. You had me fooled for a good while there.

There's nothing wrong with the statement, it refers to the fact that all programming languages are equivalent in terms of what they can compute with infinite time and memory, and equally as powerful as turing machine with that respect.  In addition, a Turing machine can act as a simulator for another Turing machine, I leave the proof as an exercise for the reader.
