  A heavily optimizing Brain**** interpreter written in Bash!

It's an interesting/challenging exercise to work through implementing some basic functions in BF, ie thinking only in loops.

I implemented an optimizing interpreter in Bash[1] on a plane ride, and it's still one of my favorite pet projects.
