				@gitpush "Brainfuck is an esoteric programming language created in 1993 by Urban Müller, and notable for its extreme minimalism."-Wikipedia
- 
				
				It consists of only 8 characters and is turing complete. It is basically just to have fun tho. Not for real programming.
 Real programming with BF would be a heavy ass pain in the ass

				@gitpush most esoteric programming languages are made as learning experience for making a compiler. You can make a compiler for a existing language or create something like this.
 
 These languages are not created to be used.

				@gitpush yes, you learn quite a bit of it. I myself never made a compiler but made a interpeter for my own language HobLang, I lost the source because of an ubuntu update, but will write it again sometime, and then I might make a compiler too.
 
 Writing a interpreter teaches you a lot about how a computer interprets a language, which can help you write better code (more optimized).
 
 Im not sure what one learns from writing a compiler but I sure know one learns something. Its such a complex piece of code.

 It's fun, but I really dislike the lexer part where you have to define the grammar of the language.

There was this random image on devRant.
Yepp, it is Brainfuck once again.
For the bored devs among us and for the ones who seek a challenge to learn and have fun... here it is. Solve it on paper like I did in the first comment.
