  Optimizing Brainfuck interpreter in the C preprocessor

PS: I wrote a bit of an explanation for my preprocessor brainfuck interpreter, maybe you can learn a few tricks from that: https://github.com/camel-cdr/bfcpp/blob/main/TUTORIAL.md

I did get a few great responses there as well, though. One was a link to this impressive piece of work: https://github.com/Hirrolot/metalang99/blob/master/examples/lambda_calculus.c

  A Proof-of-Concept for a Modern Standard Library for GNU C 11+

The biggest obstacles to make some form of functional programming (think more like Rust than Haskell) possible are __VA_OPT__, auto, lambdas, and defer. IIRC the first two are coming in C23. The last two might make it into the next standard after that, but unlikely to make 23. If you're willing to limit yourself to GNU C (so compiling with GCC or Clang, or maybe ICC) you can get pretty close already today. (shameless self plug) My project Cnx (https://github.com/braxtons12/Cnx) attempts to bring a more modern approach to the language, and a big chunk of the features it implements are functional in nature.
