Three things before I'll get to the relevant details. 1. Brainfuck is a esoteric languages which uses 8 characters. I'll leave details here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck 2. G'MIC is a language largely inspired by bash languages and one other shell scripting language, and partly inspired by C++ for JIT compilation. It's two languages in one as in one outside of JIT and one inside of JIT. It's main purpose is image processing, and it can do 3D things too, basically image-related things. It's turing-complete, so making files has been done with it. Even making a executable compiled program is possible in practice (but, I would point to doing C++ and compile there instead). 3. I am a G'MIC filters developer. Anyways, I taken some time to code up a Brainfuck interpreter within G'MIC. It wasn't that hard to do once I understood what Brainfuck is as a language. I did one earlier than this, but I had to have users define inputs beforehand. Recently, I created **rep_cin** command to relieve users of doing that, and that is the closest to `input()` within Python or `std::cin` via C++. Anyways, here's the code to my Brainfuck interpreter: ``` #@cli run_brainfuck_it: brainfuck_file,'_enforce_numbers_input={ 0=false | 1=true },_size_of_array>0 #@cli : Interprets Brainfuck code file within G'MIC brainfuck_interpreter. #@cli : Default values: ,'_enforce_numbers_input=0','_size_of_array=512' run_brainfuck_it: skip ${2=0},${3=512} it $1 _brainfuck_interpreter $2,$3 um run_brainfuck_it,run_brainfuck,_brainfuck_interpreter,_brainfuck_interpreter_byte_input #@cli run_brainfuck: brainfuck_code,'_enforce_numbers_input={ 0=false | 1=true },_size_of_array>0 #@cli : Interprets Brainfuck code within G'MIC brainfuck_interpreter. #@cli : Default values: ,'_enforce_numbers_input=0','_size_of_array=512' run_brainfuck: skip ${2=0},${3=512} ('$1') _brainfuck_interpreter $2,$3 um run_brainfuck_it,run_brainfuck,_brainfuck_interpreter,_brainfuck_interpreter_byte_input _brainfuck_interpreter: # 1.
