Brain***k IDE is an esoteric programming language created in 1993 by Urban Müller and is distinguished for its extreme minimalism.

The language comprises only eight simple commands and an instruction pointer. While it is Turing complete, its primary purpose is not practical application but to engage and challenge programmers. Brain***k necessitates breaking commands down into minute steps.

The name of the language alludes to the term Brain***k, which denotes things so intricate or unconventional that they surpass one's comprehension.

History

In 1992, Urban Müller, a Swiss physics student, assumed control of a modest online archive for Amiga software. The archive gained popularity rapidly and was soon replicated worldwide. Today, it stands as the world's largest Amiga archive, recognized as Aminet.

Müller conceived Brain***k with the aim of creating it using the most compact compiler achievable, influenced by the 1024-byte compiler for the FALSE programming language. Müller's first compiler was crafted in machine language and compiled into a binary spanning 296 bytes. He uploaded the initial Brain***k compiler to Aminet in 1993. The program was accompanied by a "Readme" document providing a brief overview of the language and posing a challenge to readers: "Who can program anything useful with it? :)" Müller also included an interpreter and some rather intricate examples. A subsequent iteration of the compiler utilized only 240 bytes.

As Aminet expanded, the compiler gained popularity within the Amiga community and eventually found its way onto other platforms. Several Brainf*ck compilers have been fashioned smaller than 200 bytes, with one weighing in at just 100 bytes.

Language Design

The language encompasses eight commands, displayed below. A Brain***k program is a series of these commands with potential interspersed characters (which are disregarded). The commands are executed sequentially, with specific exemptions: an instruction pointer commences at the first command, executing each pointed-to command before usually advancing to the subsequent command. The program concludes when the instruction pointer progresses beyond the last command.

The Brain***k language employs a straightforward machine configuration comprising a program and instruction pointer, an array containing at least 30,000 byte cells initialized to zero, a mobile data pointer (initially pointing to the leftmost array byte), and two byte streams for input and output (commonly linked to a keyboard and monitor respectively and utilizing ASCII character encoding).
