- frpzzd 6y agoYes, that is regrettable. Whenever I talk to someone about BF, they tend to assume I’m just looking for an excuse to cuss. One time I took a math/number theory class in which the professor had us prove all sorts of theorems but never told us their names (presumably because he didn’t want us looking them up). Depending on the context in which you’re teaching, you might try something like that - if one of your students were to look up the language and discover that it’s called “Brainfuck” on their own time, you wouldn’t be to blame. On the other hand, depending on who you’re teaching, the name “Brainfuck” might actually serve as an intriguing hook that captures the attention of less-mature audiences. To be perfectly honest, the clickbait-y nature of the name “Brainfuck” is probably why I discovered the language while surfing Wikipedia in the first place.
