That got me wondering how Brainfuck is Turing complete, as I understand it Turing complete means a language or machine can calculate any function.
What got me…

Is is possible to write a "Brainfuck with variables" compiler?
I'm on a quest to write a LISP-ish language that compiles to Brainfuck. Well, it's a stack of intermediate compilers actually. Currently I'm trying to write the one that transforms this code:

However, this…
