The point of “esoteric” programming languages like Brainfuck or Befunge is to be a source of puzzles for people who enjoy that kind of puzzle. They’re not “bad programming languages” any more than an escape room is a “bad apartment”.
Oh yeah. Well if it’s not a bad apartment then how come everytime I try to get freaky in one they kick me out. Litterally leasing a room from someone and I can’t even enjoy the privacy of my new home? It’s like they have cameras in the rooms too. How could it be a good apartment if there’s cameras in there. Clearly a bad apartment.
