What are practical guidelines for evaluating a language's “Turing Completeness”?

Question

I\'ve read \"what-is-turing-complete\" and the wikipedia page, but I\'m less interested in a formal proof than in the practical implications of being Turing Complete.

...than in the practical implications of being Turing Complete.

I doubt there are any practical implications of being Turing complete.

If you look at some of the examples of Turing complete machines, e.g., the original Turing machine, you'll see that the are so far from being useful for real computations that the concept must only be of theoretical interest.
