This is a common misconception. Lenses (or more generally optics) are not limited to targeting single fields. They can target composites, alternatives, etc. They go way beyond a normal accessor dot and can do stuff that cannot be done in mainstream languages.

Some of the other ideas from lenses are becoming mainstream, like the .? conditional accessor in e.g. C# and EcmaScript.

They don't surpass Turing Machine level, so I'm not convinced.

The idea of ?. was there since the beginning of times. You don't have to dig deep to realize that (x ? x.y : nil) and (x ? x : y) sucks. Even gnu C had (x ?: y) for quite a while. It's just that the designers of to-become-mainstream languages all start with the same "density" and ignore the damn obvious, and then rather than fixing it, chew on the same dilemmas they all inevitably introduce. I sometimes wonder if they have written regular code at all or started inventing languages right after school.
