woo, brainfuck++ sorry, brainfuck> :) considerably worse than x86? I don't think so. can grok brainfuck instantly from reading the web page.
Mind, a lot of "fun" was had several years ago writing a program (pre compiler) to write code that wrote code that wrote GUI & database code. all in something called GeFICs on Amigas & VAXen for process control systems. whee what fun that was.
As to making a LED blink, tis easy with a decent microcontroller (8051 derivitive) that allows one to control the port pins with nice single instructions (set bit, clear bit, test bit etc). Getting any PC BIOS in a decent state to even waggle a port pin somewhere is a hassle, CPU MTR registers, cache, northbridge init, southbridge init, SIO init... It's a laurf innit...
