Interesting! I just read [1] this morning, which describes an optimizing BF compiler (written in Rust) that compiles to LLVM IR. The article also gives a good overview of optimization techniques used.

Edit: Just saw this was also discussed on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10141604

Thanks! It's an interesting article, it really takes the compiling to the next level.
