Brainfuck Enterprise Solutions

Love this. Years ago I hand-wired a CPU that natively executes Brainfuck code: https://youtube.com/watch?v=q8G2fWprwyo

Might have to test some of these :)

Stuff like this is a breath of fresh air: real hacker vibes. The best memes (like all the best hacker stuff) are high-effort, somewhere between kinda funny and outright satire, technically nontrivial, and delivered deadpan.

Top kek.

BF is slightly hard to read, more like a well written Perl.

IMHO any solid enteprise should use Ook! or similar substitution - power of Perl, with verbosity of COBOL !

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?

Brainfuck is largely a joke for most developers, but in certain kinds of research it is taken very seriously due to its ease of implementation.

I think this is probably the most interesting paper involving it:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.19108

> In this paper we take a step towards understanding how self-replicators arise by studying several computational substrates based on various simple programming languages and machine instruction sets.

Who in their right mind would choose brainfuck for enterprise solutions, over befunge?

Duanemclemore

This is excellent for my needs! My company needs to migrate from INTERCAL and now I am convinced that Brainfuck is perfect for the job!

I miss this from the Internet early times. The Church of the SubGenius, IOCCC, Phrack Magazine, The Tao of Programming, ...

After visiting the link I was surprised to find out this wasn’t about SharePoint.

We are committed to keeping the Brainfuck community healthy -- best sentence ever

If we can get a FIPS 140 certified crypto library then it'll be truly "Enterprise Grade."

declan_roberts

Like a joke that's just gone on a little too long.

An entire OS in 252 lines. I wonder how many CPU architectures supported by this OS

:D

One of obvious hindsights here is to use the extension `.bf` instead of `.b`, which was previously suggested by daniel b cristofani, a prolific Brainfuck programmer [1]. `.bf` is also used for Befunge and `.b` removes any such confusion.

Their stack doesn't seem to include an LLVM BrainFuck backend.

This shortcoming is clearly a non-starter for any serious enterprise BF implementation.

fermigier

Never been much into BF nor esoteric languages in general, but I love this attitude!

Regarding the comments at the top of https://github.com/bf-enterprise-solutions/ed.bf : I believe a modern-day developer comparable to Ken Thompson might be Fabrice Bellard, WDYT? Any other names that pop to mind?

beretguy

Finally I can migrate away from Java.

xyst

brainfuck is truly the language of the gods

InDubioProRubio

You are laughing now- but suffering and misery indicate pervyRomance for management. And what would cause more suffering then adopting this language as new enterprise standard. The joke was on you, all along..

avodonosov

Is somebody not convinced yet, search with the new HN sentiment analysis tool [1]. Java or Rust have mixed sentiment. For Brainfuck the balance is clearly on the positive side.

I'd love to see a real "enterprise" pay for anything with this name. If it wants to be taken seriously, change the name to something that can be repeated with a straight face in an office.

mnemotronic

I can't wait to hear Warren Buffet answering a question about company automation at the next annual convention : "We just started using the Brainfuck software...". The silver-haired grannies in attendance will love that.

citizenpaul

This is horrifying. Isn't BF supposed to be a joke language. Someone is spending time making libraries so it can actually be used?

p4bl0

Haha! This reminds me of https://inutile.club/estatis/ and especially the Falso system.

ilaksh

Funny. But also their BF OS reminds me slightly of Forth or ColorForth. https://github.com/ers35/colorforth

speed_spread

Oh shoot, it's happening for real, /r/programmingcirclejerk is leaking back to HN. The great unraveling has begun, we're all doomed!

seanhunter

For it to be a real enterprise solution we need a bf container orchestration layer.

pplonski86

Do you plan to support LLM in BF Machine Learning platform? LLM with BF output?

where can i find an example of factoryFactory* pattern on the repos?

For a good levity injection attack, there is no known defense.

It's a new and powerful competition for FP :)

I'm just glad I lived to see this.

I think I had an aneurysm.

Why not GPT in Brainfuck?

laugh now but this will be better than graphql.

Irritating when people try to draw our attention to otherwise banal things by exploiting the shock value of swearing.

People that swear liberally in everyday conversation irritate me intensely.
