Brainfuck, the language based on symbols instead of keywords. Who programs with this language and what do you use it for?

What the fuck does this even mean?

Brainfuck is esoteric programming language, it's meant to interesting not useful.

Writing a Brainfuck compiler or interpreter is a good 1-3 day project.

It takes 10 minutes, it's so stupidly trivial to write an interpreter

Fuck off.

My brother knows it (semantically). It's fairly impressive. But he doesn't know it well enough to know how he'd have to manipulate it to do actual code is in.

When you start considering what writing real software (or just implement a simple Palindrome checker) would be like it starts getting obvious where the large flaws are aside from just being a mess to type.
