A silly Brainfuck interpreter I wrote one evening converts BF to JavaScript and runs eval() on it. The result was that I got for free all of the compiler optimizations and JIT capabilities in the Javascript engines for a trivial amount of effort. I found the resulting execution faster than the various hand rolled C interpreters I found online. The best part was that I spent probably less than an hour implementing and testing my "interpreter".
The compiler implements the "Operation offsets" optimization as described in the article. It is actually pretty straightforward. This function converts a map of offset => delta to x86-64 instructions: https://github.com/brianquinlan/brainfuck-jit/blob/master/bf...
and the function following it generates that table.
