The brainfuck language is an esoteric programming language noted for its extreme minimalism. It was designed to challenge and amuse programmers, and is not suitable for practical use. Its name has been variously euphemized, as in brainf*ck, since its name contains the expletive "fuck". The name of the language is generally not capitalized, despite the fact that it is a proper noun.
Language design
Urban Müller created brainfuck in 1993 with the intention of designing a language which could be implemented with the smallest possible compiler inspired by the 1024 byte compiler for the FALSE programming language. Several brainfuck compilers have been made smaller than 200 bytes. The classic distribution is [http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/dev/lang/brainfuck-2.lha Müller's version 2, containing a compiler for the Amiga, an interpreter, example programs, and a readme document.
The language consists of eight commands, listed below. A brainfuck program is a sequence of these commands, possibly interspersed with other characters (which are ignored). The commands are executed sequentially, except as noted below.
