I used brainfuck interpreter https://github.com/Beariish/bolt/blob/main/examples/bf.bolt vs lua / luajit implementations from https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks

Just checked with nbody:

  - still 10 times slower than luajit
  - 2 times slower than luajit -joff
  - but 20% faster than lua 5.4
  - but uses 47 Mb RAM vs 2.5 Mb for lua/luajit
