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?

Funny. But also their BF OS reminds me slightly of Forth or ColorForth. https://github.com/ers35/colorforth

I'm just glad I lived to see this.

I take your point - it does have a saving grace, after all.

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 :)

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

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.

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 ;-)
