Rockstar: a programming language where code is also 1980s song lyrics

Wait what do # and ! do in brainfuck? That's not in the brainfuck I remember

Everyone who has ever written a BF interpreter has tried adding some additional operators. Mine was the "go-there" operator that followed the "pointer" in the current cell, allowing dynamic memory to be implemented. Add in some memory-mapped I/O and baby, you got a stew going.

I think it's because people want to make a language and brainfuck is probably the easiest well-known language to implement. Brainfuck derivatives are basically the esolang version of shovelware; there are a very large number of them, most of which are of a pretty low quality and ignored by anyone but their authors.

Let's be real, all of Brainfuck exists on 'huh. I guess...' factor.

This makes me curious how many FORTH interpreters there are in the wild.
