Is there any use for brainfuck?

it's literally my fetish

>>59558035
Are there brainfuck interpreters written in brainfuck?

>>59558035
good for code golf

great for making hacks for CSGO

>>59558142
Yep

No. It was not designed to actually be used, but rather, just to see what the smallest programming language one could make is.

Who knows

Teaches you to think in terms of simple operations when programming. It's kind of like a Turing machine, and kind of like assembly programming, so I guess getting good at brainfuck could help with either of those.

It's also a pretty simple language to implement, so if you have some esoteric language or platform, writing a brainfuck interpreter or compiler in it can be a good challenge.

Actually brainfuck might be a good language to teach basic AIs to write via machine learning.

One of these days I'll sit down and make an interpreter for Brainfuck in Haskell, already have an idea how I'm gonna do that

It has been proposed for use as a control language for nanomachines:

why not use printf as turing complete brainfuck interpreter?

can't find the 32c3 presentation right now. not sure which one it was

It's for your own good.

Do it.

There is a brainfuck compiler written in Brainfuck.

>>59563064
Does it output machine code?

>>59558035
It is an awesome technology demonstrator for the simplest language you can write. And simplest language kinda means simplest compiler so if you were asked to go from silicon to compiler and a few simple programs you'd know the answer.

Immediate use case is not that important in research. Most math theorems don't get practical use that much until they solve a very important problem in some application.

>>59564548
no, it outputs brainfuck

godspeed magnificent motherfucker
