the brainfuck programming language   (link)

http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/bf/
Brainfuck is the ungodly creation of Urban Müller, whose goal was apparently to create a Turing-complete language for which he could write the smallest compiler ever, for the Amiga OS 2.0. His compiler was 240 bytes in size.

The idea behind Turing devices is really: just take baby-steps...take only baby steps...do not pass GO...etc. Ideas like brainf*** are mental mastur******. For comparison, though, they can't approach the intellectual relevancy of metaphysical analysis. So, for me, solipsism kicks brainf*** in the nards. Not once, but several times, and with extreme prejudice.
