Whereas there have been hardware implementations of the low-level primitves
of FORTH, I wonder if any have been done for the "Brainfuck" language,
which would seem to be a much simpler exercise?

Oh, Lord.

Reminds me of the colleague from many years ago who wrote a LISP
interpreter. In MUMPS.

It was a tad ... slow.
