If you haven't heard about it, Brainfuck is one of those esoteric programming languages. When one is learning a language, it's customary that the first program they write simply outputs "Hello World". They then usually go on to do more complex things. Not so for Brainfuck, in which simple output is an exercise in reading an ASCII table and learning how to multiply with loops and pointers. This usually leads to long strings of things like ++++++[->+++++<]>, which are a pain in the ass to type out.
A wild python script appears.
import sys
text = str(sys.argv[1])
for letter in text:
ascii = ord(letter)
print "[-]>[-]<","+"*10,"[->","+"*(ascii/10),"<]>","+"*(ascii%10),"."
