Ask HN: Why are there no programming books on Brainfuck?
2 comments
Brainfuck is just a set of symbols that map to the actions a Turing machine can make. I believe that the symbols themselves were chosen to make it difficult to read and write much like Whitespace. As for Turing machines, I'm sure there are programming books about them but I'm pretty sure their point is about studying computational theory rather than practical use.
Yes, it's just an esoteric language intentionally meant to be difficult.
Is it meant to be just a hilariously difficult and esoteric language to learn? Just to say you know it?
