I'm a backend developer with no experience in smart contracts so maybe someone more knowledgeable can correct me, but with a decent API you can handle the advanced logic in your language of choice and interact with the blockchain as necessary. The lack of Turing completeness is for security according to devs

Pros
- NEO claims to be a permission-less network, whereas in reality, they are a permissioned network. NEO is centralized with the nodes being completely managed by the NEO team. (based in China, a country infamous for lack of social freedom) EOS goes the same way as NEO: the nodes are completely under the control of the EOS team only allowing trusted parties to act as nodes. IOTA through the DAG consensus (an alternative consensus algorithm to blockchain) does allow high-speed transactions, however DAG is not completely proven as of yet, and there are several challenges to be overcome. Blockchain is by far a more secure and well-known technology. Other notables include the highly influential Loi Luu, founder of Kyber an official Advisor to Zilliqa.
Cons
- Non Turing Complete Language - Turing complete languages allows more complicated apps in comparison to Non Turing Complete language. So there will be a limitation here in the type of applications that can be developed as a dApp on the Zilliqa blockchain.
