I'm not sure why this is on hn. The creation of a programming language using a stupid syntax has been done, and has been done better. This adds nothing to the space, and it's the useless language equivalent of hello world. Good for you, you made your first hello world that is completely useless. But my hello world doesn't end up on hn, and nor should this.

You're probably not, but you sound as if you're just jealous... You could phrase your comment better.

On topic: I too don't think "another brainfuck interpreter" is very interesting, but I enjoyed sort-of-a-compiler for brainfuck implemented here: https://www.hashcollision.org/brainfudge/ by Danny Yoo. You can get something out of even the most useless of examples sometimes :)

I'm immensely jealous of anyone who has that much free time. I guess as a show-hn, I'm all for this. Someone wants to do this, then it's their art or stress relief and they're doing it for fun. But as a news submission, I don't feel this adds anything other than it's association with a popular movie. BrainFudge however, I really like.
