Which is ironic, because everyone who writes it needs help. I've been thinking about learning it to show off how mentally healthy I am.

brainfuck is a member of an exclusive club of languages where it's much easier to write a compiler for it than to read a program written in it.

It's exclusive for a reason.

Why not learn COBOL if you hate yourself?

'Cause COBOL might actually get you a job? Esoteric languages can't even do that, so you have to hate yourself worse than COBOL if you're going to learn brainfuck.

"Worse than COBOL." This is a terrifying concept. 😱
