Brainfuck is child's play. Real programmers use Malbolge.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbolge
Of course, there are pleanty of other interesting languages out there. Guy
Steele and Dick Gabriel did a GREAT overview of the a massive number of
strange languages in their History of Programming Languages Keynote last
year. 55 slides, 55 languages, 55 words per language. BRILLIANT.
Personally, I think that Piet is a beautiful language.
Unfortunately, ACM can't post the video online because they used many a
song without getting copyright clearance.
