Wow, would love to adopt this on our infra! Just one teensy problem - legal's a bit worried about the name. Would you consider renaming BF? Maybe Brainfriend?

- master_crab 2y agoMaybe BE. Brain Excellence. Also, do you have a PowerPoint explaining how to setup a Center of Excellence?
- cornholio 2y agoThe corporate flavor should obviously be named Braindead

- rguiscard 2y agoMaybe brainfried?

- Pannoniae 2y agoHow about bellyfuck? or brainfart?
- karlzt 2y agoImagine changing Python's name, that doesn't make sense, and as you said, it's a very small problem that should be ignored.
- Duwensatzaj 2y agoMay I suggest Squick instead?
- pcblues 2y agoNow that is alt.tasteless old-school :)
- SOLAR_FIELDS 2y agoOf course this post is written in jest but fck-nat is useful enough that adult organizations adopt it despite the name, as an actual example of “profane but useful software that jumps over the wall of corporate use”. It helps that the specific use case it’s built for is something you usually only run into when you have corporate level spend on AWS
- tpoacher 2y agoThere is a language called brainfudge which is effectively an alias of brainfuck for this exact reason you'll find lots of "brainfudge" interpreters on github
- InDubioProRubio 2y agoFar be it from programmargamers to name things, just to annoy legal and other cruft layers. Now onwards to the new Bloat meeting (its the new scrum), where we produce spam-tickets and increase productivity by sacrificing hours to nil-meetings.
- debugnik 2y agoThe usual censor for it is b****fuck, that should do it.
- wiz21c 2y agoNot more bad than C++ :-)
- dennis_jeeves2 2y agoVehemently agree.
- tgv 2y agoThat would become BF<<+>+
- semitones 2y agoThis made me laugh _really_ loudly, thank you
- macqm 2y agoWhat about: b7k
- Exoristos 2y agoBrain-fsck.
- avodonosov 2y agoI like the name choice of the CPU from this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41622325 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41622325

- paulmooreparks 2y agoYou could use my (rather silly) extension called "pbrain," which adds procedures to brainfuck. https://parkscomputing.com/page/pbrain https://parkscomputing.com/page/pbrain In hindsight, I think it's aptly named. (EDIT: Gosh, I really need to update the .NET compiler to .NET 8.)
- rep_lodsb 2y agoThat's an interesting addition to the language, since the numeric "labels" are effectively pointers that can be changed anywhere in the program! Though from reading the interpreter code, it seems like it doesn't handle "nested" procedures that can (re)define other procedures or themselves, which could make this a lot more powerful. Never done enough BF programming to come up with a good example, but I'm thinking about something like this: ( (<-)<+ ) On the first call it increments it argument, then decrements on subsequent calls. There could also be a loop that switches a procedure between one of several definitions, which could be used to implement a state machine.
- giancarlostoro 2y agoReminds me of how theres a Buttplug project that has what is considered the fastest bluetooth open source library. Problem is people cannot use it because importing “Buttplug IO” or whatever raises some eyebrows. Theres even been attempts at using it in DoD projects.
