Indeed, and following their lead, I created SBFL (Simple Brainfuck Language) since most find the original specification too esoteric.

So instead of writing this Hello World program in Brainfuck:

  ++++++++[>++++[>++>+++>+++>+<<<<-]>+>+>->>+[<]<-]>>.>---.+++++++..+++.>>.<-.<.+++.------.--------.>>+.>++.

You can instead have this much more readable version:

  increment byte increment byte increment byte increment byte increment byte
  increment byte increment byte increment byte jump forward if zero
  increment pointer increment byte increment byte increment byte increment byte
  jump forward if zero increment pointer increment byte increment byte
  increment pointer increment byte increment byte increment byte increment pointer
  increment byte increment byte increment byte increment pointer increment byte
  decrement pointer decrement pointer decrement pointer decrement pointer
  decrement byte jump backward if zero increment pointer increment byte
  increment pointer increment byte increment pointer decrement byte
  increment pointer increment pointer increment byte jump forward if zero
  decrement pointer jump backward if zero decrement pointer decrement byte
  jump backward if zero increment pointer increment pointer output byte
  increment pointer decrement byte decrement byte decrement byte output byte
  increment byte increment byte increment byte increment byte increment byte
  increment byte increment byte output byte output byte increment byte
  increment byte increment byte output byte increment pointer increment pointer
  output byte decrement pointer decrement byte output byte decrement pointer
  output byte increment byte increment byte increment byte output byte
  decrement byte decrement byte decrement byte decrement byte decrement byte
  decrement byte output byte decrement byte decrement byte decrement byte
  decrement byte decrement byte decrement byte decrement byte decrement byte
  output byte increment pointer increment pointer increment byte output byte
  increment pointer increment byte increment byte output byte

How about SCL?:

  include header file stdio.h, searching system paths first.

  describe function main that returns a value of type 
  integer, and has argument of type integer argc, and 
  argument of type pointers to pointers to characters argv.

  begin function body

  call function printf with the single argument of type 
  string "hello world" with a newline appended.

  begin new statement.

  return the integer value 0.

> array of pointers to pointers to characters

    Wouldn't that be char ***argv? (with three stars)

[qwertyuiop924]

For some reason, I thought it was:

  char **argv[]

It isn't. I've been away from C too long. Fixed in GP.

An array of anything decays to a pointer though, if I'm not mistaken.

[qwertyuiop924]

Yeah, I know. I've already fixed it.
