An IRC bot written in Brainfuck

It would be really cool to make some slightly more usable programming language that compiles to Brainfuck so that mortals could write non-trivial programs in it and impress their friends.

Or just a program that writes bf programs, like the (apparently only) way people write Malbolge programs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbolge#Programming_in_Malbolg...

It's not impressive, though. It's not surprising that someone is able to create a program using a Turing-complete language. It's just surprising that they decided to waste their time with an unreadable one. It's far more impressive to do basically anything else related to programming.
