BrainF**k Compiler

More than anything, this is an experiment in code golf. My friend @rhysdh540 and I are sort of "competing" to make the fastest BrainF**k compiler and interpreter.

Mine uses Cranelift to compile directly to machine code, and supports AOT and JIT compilation. There's also a lot of optimizations I'm doing on the BrainF**k code before compilation in order to make it faster.

The code can be found here: https://git.thebrokenscript.net/RedstoneWizard08/BrainFuck

Benchmarks

On my terrible laptop, I've run a few benchmarks:
