The language operates on a tape of memory cells using only increment, decrement, pointer movement, and conditional loop instructions. Writing a GCC frontend for it turns out to be a manageable project, and the result is a good template for understanding how language frontends hook into the GCC middle-end and optimization passes.</p>
