    Optimizing Brainfuck interpreter in the C preprocessor

  • Since you mentioned macros: I wrote a brainfuck interpreter using only the preprocessor, so it interprets brainfuck at compile time. The entire thing is a huge abuse of macros: https://github.com/camel-cdr/bfcpp

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • nim-brainfuck

    A brainfuck interpreter and compiler written in Nim

  • Oooooh... that's very nice. How well does it handle mandelbrot.b I wonder...

  • brainfuck

  • Even if you directly compile the brainfuck code to C e.g. with this script, executing the binary still takes an entire second.
