It would be cool if there could be a website where people could try the brain compiler. They should be able to type brain code, run the compiler and then see/download the brainfuck code. Eventually they should even be able to run the brainfuck in the browser and even provide input interactively. (cpp.sh is an excellent example of a site that does this really well)

This will eventually belong in a separate repo, however this issue is the starting point of planning the project. The repo will probably be called brain-lang/brain-playground or something.

Ideas

Backend

Server: https://rocket.rs/
Hosting: Heroku with Rust buildpack

  • Uses brain as a library and configures it using the options provided by the frontend
  • Returns the compiler output (error or not)

Frontend

Usual technologies
Editor: https://ace.c9.io
Hosting: GitHub pages

  • We could potentially buy a domain too
