I do *not* think that this is only a /April Fool'?s Joke/.
It should not be complicated to write a little Ruby script that
allows you to map Brainfuck's syntactical elements (only a handful of
characters) to white space.

This was actually my first thought when I saw the annoncement.
Moreover I took a look at the helo world program (using bvi the
binary vi) - it is really more than a joke.

One should keep in mind that ruby's syntax does look strange to some
people as well.
