    So I just recently discovered a programming language called (excuse my language) "Brainfuck". This is a very hardcore language.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck Here is some more information.

    This is how you print out "Hello World!" in this language:

    Code (csharp):
    1. ++++++++++
    2. [
    3. >+++++++
    4. >++++++++++
    5. >+++
    6. >+
    7. <<<<-
    8. ]
    9. >++.
    10. >+.
    11. +++++++.
    12. .
    13. +++.
    14. >++.
    15. <<+++++++++++++++.
    16. >.
    17. +++.
    18. ------.
    19. --------.
    20. >+.
    21. >.
    Do you think a language like this is really necessary? I understand it is for fun but......

    I was about to say straight away that 1GL/machine code is probably harder, but then I read the wiki page and now I'm not so sure..

    Wow, a high level language that's more complicated than machine code, brilliant!

    But, when is Unity going to add support for Whitespace?? :(

    I want to hide code inside my other code... it sounds like so much fun!

    All of the above are child play compared to Malbolge.

    It took seven years before anyone learned it good enough to write the trivial 99 bottles of beer demo.

    I wish unity had an option for one of these, it would make me a far more efficient programmer.

    They should replace Javascript with Brainfuck.

    In the old days... people used to have a keyboard with just a 1 and a 0, used to make code that compiled a punched tape which purpose no mortal could comprehend. And the screen was a wooden box with a photon gun inside that blasted blurry pixels against a glass that only filtered 35% of radiation.

    Or such tells the legends!

    The best thing about Brainfuck: it's lean!

    So simple, so elegant ... so it should be easy to use!

    Okay this one i like, seems even useful and makes a lot of sense, something like that could be a good "training language" for people that never programmed before.

    Also, the Brainfuck version of 99 Bottles is a beauty in itself.

    I know the Doge meme is dying in popularity, but there is something called DogeScript.

    I remember learning some programming language in the 80s that required it to be mapped out on graph paper first. Some sort of binary programming. Perhaps I am misremembering.
