Interpreter

As it is a Trivial Brainfuck Substitution the interpreter is equally trivial.

#!/usr/bin/ruby
eval 'm=Hash.new(p=0);'+ARGF.read.gsub(
        /./,
        '>' => 'p+=1;',
        '<' => 'p-=1;',
        '+' => 'm[p]+=1;',
        '*' => 'putc m[p];')

Interpreter

• Common Lisp implementation of the Tick programming language.
