where can i find an example of factoryFactory* pattern on the repos?

"So this week, we're introducing a general-purpose tool-building factory factory factory, so that all of your different tool factory factories can be produced by a single, unified factory. The factory factory factory will produce only the tool factory factories that you actually need, and each of those factory factories will produce a single factory based on your custom tool specifications. The final set of tools tha…

nice! i hope the configuration files are a bf syntax but with all the features and power of xml+xsl!

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.

Of course is a fine name and that's what i'm defending, my comment was a reply to Brian, he shouldn't change it IMO.

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.

Being the only true 2-dimensional language, Befunge only needs the square root of the lines of code to build an equivalent program to puny 1-dimensional programs like Brainfuck or C++. Stop trying to hire 10X engineers. Befunge applications are built by true X² engineers.

Excel is Befunge

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.

I feel like “what is idiomatic brainfuck” is a deeply philosophical question striking right to the heart of our craft…

If only they'd used the f-word instead of Ook...

I believe it’s a reference to a Discworld personage The Librarian is known for his violent reaction whenever he hears anyone refer to him as a "monkey" (orang-utans are apes). He speaks an elaborate language whose vocabulary consists of the single word Ook (and its antonym "eek" - where "ook" means yes, "eek" tends to mean no) https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/The_Librarian

waho, didn't know ! Thanks for explaining.

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?

You could use my (rather silly) extension called "pbrain," which adds procedures to brainfuck.

In hindsight, I think it's aptly named.

(EDIT: Gosh, I really need to update the .NET compiler to .NET 8.)
