Brainfuck with threads and assertions

Brainf**k with threads and assertions, written in Python - scotchfield/bf_py

Brainfuck with threads and assertions launched on April 15, 2015 with 22 votes, #1,023 of 3,600 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

In plain words

This is a Python implementation of Brainfuck, an esoteric programming language, that adds threading and assertion capabilities to the original language. It is designed for developers interested in exploring unconventional programming paradigms and language implementations. The project extends Brainfuck's minimal instruction set with concurrent execution features and validation checks, making it suitable for those studying language design or experimenting with parallel execution in minimalist environments.

    What if Brainfuck was less like C and more like Scheme? The interpreter implemetation is pretty bad. It's not very fast, it's not very good, and it's probably not very correct. But maybe there's some vaguely interesting programs you could write with it! For example, the Y combinator: λf. (λx. f (x x)) (λx. f (x x)) is written as: \` \`1 `0 0 \`1 `0 0

    Hi HN, I turned the freshly published paper “The Constructor Theory of Time” by David Deutsch and Chiara Marletto (arXiv, 13 May 2025) into an executable Python library. What you’ll find • One-to-one translation of the paper’s formalism: Substrates, Attributes, Tasks, Constructors, and task-algebra operators • Possibility / impossibility predicates and counterfactuals encoded exactly as defined • Test suite that mirrors every lemma and example (>95 % coverage, mypy-typed) • Reproductions of key results: time-keeping substrates, irreversibility proofs, quantum branching tasks, and a…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
