No one who wants to write brainfuck would admit they need help.

Which is ironic, because everyone who writes it needs help. I've been thinking about learning it to show off how mentally healthy I am.

brainfuck is a member of an exclusive club of languages where it's much easier to write a compiler for it than to read a program written in it.

It's exclusive for a reason.

Why not learn COBOL if you hate yourself?

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

'Cause COBOL might actually get you a job? Esoteric languages can't even do that, so you have to hate yourself worse than COBOL if you're going to learn brainfuck.

"Worse than COBOL." This is a terrifying concept. 😱

Brainfuck is dead easy to learn, its incredibly hard to use.

[–] SaintWacko@midwest.social 19 points 1 year ago

Do they really need to? It's sort of a cry for help on its own 😛

The only thing she's mad about is that he wants to code in brainfuck
