Hello all its about a month until Brain-Flak's Birthday (for real this time) so I thought we could Brainstorm some ideas for a birthday challenge. I have some ideas myself but they are not very good so I'm eager to hear everyone else's.

A: What programming languages have been created by PPCG users?

Brain-Flak Brain-Flak is a language designed by me, DJMcMayhem, and written as a collaboration between me and two other users, @Wheat Wizard, and @1000000000. When your Stack Overflows, you forget whatever you were talking about. If this happens very badly, to the point where you can no longer ...

Here are somethings I criteria *I* think would be important to se in a potential challenge:
1. Low Bar of entry
I think that everyone should be able to participate regardless of their knowledge of brain-Flak
2. Brain-Flakiness
It should obviously be related to Brain-Flak
3. Fun
As with all challenges it should be fun

({(({}[()])){({}[()])}{}}{}) yields (n-1)*n*(n+1)/6. I think this is the shortest known cubic function. It may be useful for metagolf, as it gets to big numbers faster than its quadratic counterparts.

Q: Tips for Programming, Understanding and Golfing in Brain-Flak
