The case for brainfuck

Brainfuck is a widely known programming language but it lacks recognition from the competitive programming comunity. I am here to fix that.

How to use

You might notice that there is no brainfuck option when choosing a language for your source code. This is no problem! You can use this C++ interpreter for brainfuck. This resource also contais a few classic examples (dfs, bfs, djikstra, Roy-Floyd etc.).

Advantages

Brainfuck has many advantages over c++:

  1. Builtin fast i/o.
  2. Builtin O(1) time complexity (there is a finite number of states so you can either end up in a cycle or finish execution).
  3. Builtin O(1) space complexity (memory is limited to 30 000 bytes).
  4. Only 8 commands (no room for human error).
  5. You now have the power to understand any Benq source really
  6. Immune to hacks (except from 3000+ rated users who learn brainfuck before they can walk).
