How about Assembly?

Assembly is higher level logic than brainfuck, especially on modern chips. You have built in instructions for arithmetic and conditionals/branches and you can allocate memory and point to it.

You don’t really get any of that with brainfuck. You have a theoretical tape and counters and that’s basically it.

SKI calculus is pretty neat, too. You get no tape, no counters. (But it's not quite as bad to program in as brainfuck, because you can built more ergonomic contraptions to help you along.)
