BrainF***k

Something to emphasize on what is going inside my head.. well no. This is actually a programming language (yeah right) for which one could write a compiler very easily (not joking). In fact the compiler for BrainF***k is around 171 Bytes large. By the way don't even think about writing programs in it.. It is a total waste of time. It consists of only 8 commands (originally posted as "operators") and was built to be turing complete (originally posted as "to simulate a turing machine"). To me the programs look nothing more than cute ASCII art.

The only things it has in common with a Turing machine are Turing-completeness and (very approximately) the memory model. And "operators" is the wrong word--"commands" or "instructions" would be more accurate.
