- It happened to wikipedia's templating language
- It happened to PHP
- It happened to mod_rewrite
- It happened to server-side includes

It just keeps happening.
In fact it's such a problem with infrastructure teams that use yaml/json configs that you see a lack of turing-completeness being advertised as a feature (see Dhall configuration language).
