Why most of the members interested in BrainF**k?

The language consists of only eight simple commands and an instruction pointer. While it is fully Turing-complete, it is not intended for practical use, but to challenge and amuse programmers. -(Wikipedia) Online visualizer at http://fatiherikli.github.io/brainfuck-visualizer/

i would say that is a (rare) exception as it's a programming language (tho it's not used for anything else other than amusement and weird challenges) just don't go making new "languages" with naughty names. that won't slide ;)

sorry Robert Brown Farley (brofarops) i was just trying to understand if you think there is a problem with this thread in my opinion as a programmer (not as a mod) brain**** is an interesting concept, and i've seen hacking challenges using it just for its complexity to make things hard and interesting. it's a language any programmer should at least hear about and know it exists. as a mod i do agree it have a somewhat problematic name (altought it is being censored for most cases) bottom line is that there are some rare exceptions in my opinion that should be allowed, and this is one of them. if you see it differently you are more than welcome to ask sololearn about it via email info@sololearn.com no hard feelings, we are people above all ^_^

I had gone through the literature of this language. Though, it may be the shortest language but it will surely fry out the brain even for the simplest program.
