I propose a law of esoteric langauges:

If there exists, in popular culture, a character with a comically limited vocabulary (e.g. Groot, The Librarian in Discworld) then there shall be a Brainfuck variant based on its vocabulary. (In our example, Grootlang and Ook)

I would think "We are Groot" would be better as the command to accept one byte of input.

Even though I got a laugh out of it, I propose we change the definition of esoteric programming languages to require more creativity from their designer than reimplementing brainfuck with different tokens for the operators.

I've never really understood why Groot stopped being able to say more than his name - he could talk just fine until 2008 or so:

(On the other hand, the fully-talking character was a bit of a jerk, so perhaps it's better this way.)

I refuse to use this unless it has a javascript compiler.
