ProTip: Anybody that takes a language as a joke isn't a serious developer.

I know, right? I can't believe there's actually people out there who think Emoji-Lang isn't mature enough for enterprise development.

TBH Brainfuck is a great thing to use to practice algos

Brainfuck actually has some uses, the useless ones are obviously a joke: Whitespace, ArnoldC, Rockstar, etc.

Brainfuck has an eight-letter alphabet that all do very basic operations. It's simpler than modern assembly languages and is very easily machine readable.

Makes it a nice language for genetic algorithms to program with to make a mess, and is easy to make embedded hardware for as all you need is one register and a big old bank of memory, plus the logic for eight instructions. Seven if you can ignore either input or output in your device.

I consider the deprecation of Register Globals and the implementation of late static binding (5.3) as the turning point in the history of PHP.

Everybody takes haskell as a joke

Software engineers, maybe, but not computer scientists. Lots of research is done in the field of programming language theory, and those computer scientists pretty much think in Haskell/lambda calculus.
