# Brainfuck JIT VM
This project started as a result of my boredom, but has become a friendly competition between some folks.

I'd like to say that it's fast, ~~but it does not have a jit (yet).~~ and that's because it is. The execution of the Mandelbrot BF application went from 11 seconds to 1.3 seconds. Scroll down if you'd like to see the comparison.

## JIT Optimizations
Of course, multiple basic operations such as `>>>` and `+++` are summed together. This happens at the parsing stage and results in a free speed bonus. The JIT, if enabled, takes these summed operations and compiles them down to machine code (only windows for now). After a majority of the machine code is built, a peephole optimizer scans for any improvements. For now there is only one pattern that will result in a noticeable speed improvement (7%), but more can be added later.

Lets get onto actually seeing the speed difference.

#### Here's a comparison
