lbf

lbf is a brainfuck interpreter/compiler written in lua. It supports AST optimization as well as backends for multiple languages, including brainfuck itself.

Installing

For now, the best way to install lbf is to clone this repo, and install argparse from luarocks. Running lbf must be done from its directory until a packaged version is available.
