The language +consists of only eight simple commands and an instruction pointer. It is designed to challenge and +amuse programmers, and was not made to be suitable for practical use. It was created in 1993 by +Urban Müller. (Source: Wikipedia) + +This interpreter supports all eight instructions as well as nested loops. You can +feed it a file with brainfuck code mixed with comments. It will execute the commands +and ignore everything else.
