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.

    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 10y ago
      Yeah, I know. I've already fixed it.
