I just fond this language called brainfuck and I don't ever see myself trying to learn this language. If I got really bored one day I might try lolcode but not this.
Here's the wikipedia article which has an example of hello world.

Great compiler read. I'm a little interested in the language but i'm to lazy to use it.

It is there to annoy and amuse programmers and after reading the article i can see how it does.

But seriously! My god it'd be a painful language to use. I sometimes forget when i'm doing with http and java. No way i'd be able to go 5 minutes with it without going mental.

Nope, someday, maybe if I became a lot better at programming than what I am now... But at this level, never, I'm struggling with Java as it is o,O If you're gonna do this, you might as well just code in pure machine code.

so far i have learend visual basic after dabbeling with it in the intro programming class at my school(useful but definetly has it's limits) as well as learning java at the moment(almost done with 1st java class, taking AP in the spring) and hope to expand my knowledge even more my senior year with the C++ class my school offers. but idk if i could ever learn that brainfuck stuff...that shit is crazy...i would probably bash my head upon my keyboard repeatedly.

I think I'd have to start learning a normal programming language before considering using this... and even then I wouldn't seriously use it.

If I was INFURIATINGLY bored, then yes, I'd give Brainfuck a try. However, my mind would definitely explode if I even tried to memorize the letter A.

Eh... no. Surely not.
That's way too crazy. Although minimalist, it's just impratical. Not even for fun.
You will probably take more time debugging whatever error you find than anything else.

Obviously useless as a language for practicality, but could be a fun thinking exercise.
