@rml I wonder if there is a brainfuck but lisp. I looked and its almost there actually.

"...commands +, -, <, >, [, ], ..."

So just replace plus with "(" and minus with ")".

Here is hello world.
>(((((((([<(((((((((>)]<.>(((([<(((((((>)]<(.(((((((..(((.>>(((((([<(((((((>)]<(
(.)))))))))))).>(((((([<(((((((((>)]<(.<.(((.)))))).)))))))).>>>(((([<((((((((>)
]<(.

Like torn up pieces of fish in long boxes.

@retropikzel_ i gotta be honest, I developed a sort of allergy for brainfuck when I was first learning about programming, and so I've avoided thinking about it ever, except where its an example language, and then I'll still avoid thinking about it. but won't say any more, because brainfuck stans will rip you apart for shit talking it

@PaniczGodek I live for when an opportunity like that arises
