... which is why a certain class of programs is most elegantly described in brainfuck?
Certainly there are tradeoffs to be made, but this does not mean that some languages are not simply better than others.
- TeMPOraL 9y ago> ... which is why a certain class of programs is most elegantly described in brainfuck? Possibly, though for sure those aren't programs you'd usually want to write. The key phrase of my comment was "essential complexity". You can pile up extra complexity that's not helping anything, but assuming you got rid of it, all you can do to make things easier is to shift the remaining complexity around the problem space.
- tormeh 9y agoI'd argue that no language in existence is even remotely close to having no extra complexity.
