    Just use brainfuck for everything. The entry barrier for the programming industry needs to be higher anyway.

        For the programmer? Very no.

        For saving space if run via interperter? No.

        For running compiled for conventional CPUs? No.

        Compared to CISC instruction sets? Absolutely no.

        BF might be highly efficient if crunched down to a bit-packed representation (3 bits per instruction) and run on an FPGA that understands it.

          For demonstrating to CS freshmen that Turing Completeness isn’t that remarkable of a language feature: very highly efficient.
