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?

Imagine changing Python's name, that doesn't make sense, and as you said, it's a very small problem that should be ignored.

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 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.

You mean your company needs to COME FROM Intercal?
