BFC Compiler

This is a transpiler for bfc that outputs bf code.

Bfc is a compiled language that is meant to be readable and scalable, while also being limited to brainf*ck's operations, memory layout etc.

The language is assembly-like with some higher-level concepts implemented:

struct (a, b)

read a
read b
while a
    dec a
    dec b
    if0 a
        if0 b
            write "Equal"
        else
            write "Not equal"
        end
    end
end

This is a simple program that reads 2 numbers and checks to see if they're equal.

The same program in bf would've been a headache to write even though this is a simple task. While you don't have a simple way of writing this in bfc either (you can't just write if a == b), it's less of a headache and it follows bf's design patterns.

Why?

• Simple memory managment
• Automatically creates temporary variables (TODO)
• No more writting the same bf templates
• Automatically writing bf code for constants (TODO)
• An extra abstraction layer: you don't control the exact cell you are in, only the cell grouping
