Not only are many &amp;quot;esoteric languages&amp;quot; just Brainfuck+something (eg. http://esolangs.org/wiki/Category:Brainfuck_derivatives ), but also having Brainfuck as the default &amp;quot;minimalist language&amp;quot; is also unfortunate. For example, a NASA study on self-replicating machines ( http://www.niac.usra.edu/files/studies/final_report/883Toth-... ) mentions it on page 43: &amp;gt; ...we thought that our Controller subsystem should also be as simple as possible. We spent quite a bit…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1109.5951/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
