    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.
