Synesthesia – Optimizing brainfuck compiler implemented as Nim macros

In plain words

Synesthesia is a brainfuck compiler written using Nim macros that optimizes code during compilation. Brainfuck is an esoteric programming language known for its minimalist design. This project is aimed at developers interested in language implementation, compiler optimization techniques, and functional programming experiments. It demonstrates how Nim's macro system can be used to process and improve low-level code before execution.

  Lambduck, a Functional Programming Brainfuck2025 · imjakingit.github.io · ▲70

  What if Brainfuck was less like C and more like Scheme? The interpreter implemetation is pretty bad. It's not very fast, it's not very good, and it's probably not very correct. But maybe there's some vaguely interesting programs you could write with it! For example, the Y combinator: λf. (λx. f (x x)) (λx. f (x x)) is written as: \` \`1 `0 0 \`1 `0 0
