Agreed, more or less. Brainfuck implementations are not generally interesting, except as proofs of Turing-completeness for other esoteric languages. And there are many more esolangs out there with much wilder and more beautiful semantics than Brainfuck. Implementing those can be a really valuable learning experience.
Also, if we’re bringing Scala into it, I would be more interested to see a type-level implementation.
- jrabone 14y agoIf we're bringing Scala into it, I'd like to see a Scala compiler in Brainfuck. That might keep the esolang people quiet for a bit :)

Like, for example, INTERCAL with threading via `comefrom`: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~malcolmr/intercal/threaded.html http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~malcolmr/intercal/threaded.html
