> In C the minimalism comes from providing only the minimal set of things that are available in most (maybe all) architectures

By that logic Brainfuck is even more minimal. Again. I'm saying minimalism isn't the goal. It's a good quality but not most important one.

You just misinterpreted what I said. I was referring to a minimum common denominator of cpu architectures. Brainfuck has nothing to do with that.
