Well, I already have parentheses parsing working, which is the biggest challenge. The rest should be really easy.

Of course I'm working on Brainfk, both because of how cool it is and how simple for a Turing Complete VM. Also, because I have a lot of practice implementing it (https://www.slideshare.net/AurSaraf/virtual-machines-and-bra...)

Stay tuned.

Awesome! I originally wanted to use only cell formulas to do this but couldn't figure out how to modify cell contents from other cells. Can't wait to see what you put together.
