Love this. Years ago I hand-wired a CPU that natively executes Brainfuck code: https://youtube.com/watch?v=q8G2fWprwyo
Might have to test some of these :)
Wow, would love to adopt this on our infra! Just one teensy problem - legal's a bit worried about the name. Would you consider renaming BF? Maybe Brainfriend?
There is a language called brainfudge which is effectively an alias of brainfuck for this exact reason
search wikipedia for the explanation
Of course this post is written in jest but fck-nat is useful enough that adult organizations adopt it despite the name, as an actual example of “profane but useful software that jumps over the wall of corporate use”. It helps that the specific use case it’s built for is something you usually only run into when you have corporate level spend on AWS
Maybe BE. Brain Excellence.
Also, do you have a PowerPoint explaining how to setup a Center of Excellence?
The corporate flavor should obviously be named Braindead
Let’s hope not.
May I suggest Squick instead?
Maybe brainfried?
How about bellyfuck? or brainfart?
Imagine changing Python's name, that doesn't make sense, and as you said, it's a very small problem that should be ignored.
Sure. Let's call it pyfuck. I'm sure that won't raise any eyebrows.
Brainfuck is a fine name due to the nature of the language.
BF is slightly hard to read, more like a well written Perl.
IMHO any solid enteprise should use Ook! or similar substitution - power of Perl, with verbosity of COBOL !
You can embed BF directly in your perl code!

There's an Ook! interpreter too but it's more limited.
Stuff like this is a breath of fresh air: real hacker vibes. The best memes (like all the best hacker stuff) are high-effort, somewhere between kinda funny and outright satire, technically nontrivial, and delivered deadpan.
Top kek.
Who in their right mind would choose brainfuck for enterprise solutions, over befunge?
You can't discount the need to keep your hiring pipeline full to replace the people whose RSUs have cliffed.
Befunge, like Rust, is impossible to hire for, so nobody uses it, which means nobody has experience, which means it's impossible to hire for, so it's a bad idea to use it. BrainFuck has been around for decades and its problems can be avoided by just hiring sufficiently-talented developers.
Funny thing about Rust. I use it for a few small projects. I have advocated for it on a current work project in part because it makes sense for a few reasons. I had planned on it, an advisor (small startup) recommended it, so myself as a mid experience and two people more junior in their career, are writing Rust.
As I said, I have used Rust for multiple unrelated to this task thing. Had various versions of our planned project working. Then I revisited it and made it more Rust-like. It literally looks like I've done nothing since I through a lot of things out.
It's fun to learn.

Somebody didn’t read the style guide, especially 1.1.2.
Never been much into BF nor esoteric languages in general, but I love this attitude!
Regarding the comments at the top of https://github.com/bf-enterprise-solutions/ed.bf : I believe a modern-day developer comparable to Ken Thompson might be Fabrice Bellard, WDYT? Any other names that pop to mind?
This is excellent for my needs! My company needs to migrate from INTERCAL and now I am convinced that Brainfuck is perfect for the job!
You mean your company needs to COME FROM Intercal?
PLEASE DO
PLEASE DO NOT ABSTAIN
I miss this from the Internet early times. The Church of the SubGenius, IOCCC, Phrack Magazine, The Tao of Programming, ...
I think POC||GTFO carries on some of the spirit of those times.
After visiting the link I was surprised to find out this wasn’t about SharePoint.
We are committed to keeping the Brainfuck community healthy -- best sentence ever
Like a joke that's just gone on a little too long.

An entire OS in 252 lines. I wonder how many CPU architectures supported by this OS

If we can get a FIPS 140 certified crypto library then it'll be truly "Enterprise Grade."
We're half way there: https://gist.github.com/rqu1/e4770cd8bd60706384c7c1b79f010a8...
Funny. But also their BF OS reminds me slightly of Forth or ColorForth. https://github.com/ers35/colorforth
Finally I can migrate away from Java.
(Shameless plug) With Brainfuccuccino[1], you can embed your brainfuck programs right into Java, so you get the "best" of both worlds ;-)
brainfuck is truly the language of the gods
posting codegolf'd brainfuck on stackexchange was a pivotable moment in my life
i was zen
I'm just glad I lived to see this.
I take your point - it does have a saving grace, after all.
Something straight out of Cyberpunk2077
That's the stupidest shit I ever heard lol
Irritating when people try to draw our attention to otherwise banal things by exploiting the shock value of swearing.
People that swear liberally in everyday conversation irritate me intensely.
You have to keep in mind that brainfuck has been invented by a Swiss student. There are 2 clues. Student is obvious. Being Swiss might not be but is one.
People not living in an english speaking country have a different appreciation of swearing in english as they are exposed to it differently: appart from our english classes at school we learn and hear english mostly in songs, movies, TV shows, even modern literature. We are pretty much inundates by the f-word which makes it more an innocent word than in britain and us english.
A few days ago I was doing some cleaning in the house. Usually I rather put music but this time I chose a tv shows instead. Bad idea, it makes you much slower. Bottom line is I chose action-drama Banshee randomly. It seems they literally say fuck or motherfucking every 30 seconds!
So my advice would be: before complaining of people living abroad and using the f-word, maybe you guys should clean your house and stop putting the f-word in every fucking piece of media you sell all over the motherfucking world.
Also swearing can be cultural. For example wear I live in Spain swearing is part of the normal language. Grandparents all say words like coño and de puta madre all day long and nobody seems to blink when their 4 year old kids do the same.
People who get uptight about swearing irritate me. I understand getting upset about racial slurs or other actually loaded language, but getting upset about the word "fuck" but not "sex" is just making up things to be upset about.
Some people just don't like the overall crudening of society. Get over it.
I do think it’s an important social issue though.
Swear words communicate important and precise emotions that no other words can communicate.
I totally understand why some words aren’t appropriate in a given social setting but it doesn’t mean the words are forbidden. Also those words can hurt when they are directed towards someone and you have to be cautious with them. But sometimes you want to hurt someone, sometimes you want to shock your audience. Sometimes you just want to laugh.
We are animals full of emotions and we need precise words to communicate them rapidly.
You missed an opportunity to say "Ghe the fuck over it". :|
> Brainfuck is an example of a so-called Turing tarpit: it can be used to write any program, but it is not practical to do so, because it provides so little abstraction that the programs get very long or complicated. While Brainfuck is fully Turing complete, it is not intended for practical use, but to challenge and amuse programmers.[3][4] Brainfuck requires one to break commands into microscopic steps.
Brainfuck isn't exploiting the shock value of swearing--it's accurately describing the experience of using it.
The High Court of Australia ruled that swearing isn't by itself offensive. So I s'pose you're shit out of luck if you cross our border.
Yes. That's true in most cases but let them youn uns have some fun will ya!
Well shit, seems like there’s no talking to you about Brainfuck then.
Conversely, people who get all pearl clutchy about their poor, sensitive wittle ears when I swear irritate the shit out of me. We're not in elementary school, adults say fuck and that's ok.
