Take a look at https://github.com/TomasMikula/RichTextFX/blob/master/richtextfx-demos/src/main/java/org/fxmisc/richtext/demo/JavaKeywords.java and see what can be accomplished with syntax highlighting in Brainfuck.

[x] Match [ and ]
[x] Different color for comments
[x] Highlight [ and ] and possibly . and ,

See how different IDEs handle something like ()((()()()))

This is how IntelliJ works, which seems to be a good strategy to follow:

Highlight both before and after: ()((()()x())) Highlight after: ()(x(()()())) Highlight before: ()((()()())x)

That is, always highlight the innermost match. In case of a end before and a beginning after, highlight both.
