Please. No exceptions is huge. No garbage collection is huge.
But you can do anything with a Turing machine. You can do anything in assembly. The point is to pick the appropriate tool for the job.
I can build a house without a nail gun. I can probably even build a house without a hammer. But it's a waste of time to build things with the wrong tools.
