6 years ago Sorry to get back to you guys so late :) I've been mulling it over, and I'm trying to figure out if I can come up with an interesting perspective from which to do a talk. The interpreter code in itself is very uninteresting and does not feature any particularly interesting Clojure syntax. I made a web version in ClojureScript and Reagent, a React wrapper which is very popular in the Clojure community. I personally really like Reagent, and and would maybe have more to say about that, but I'm unsure that the Brainfuck interpreter is a particularly good example. In itself, Reagent is not that deep a subject, that is part of what is nice about it - it is very limited in scope.
I don't know :) Maybe you guys can take a look at the web version, which also has the interpreter part, and see if there are bits that you find interesting?
The source is here: https://github.com/Reefersleep/derpanet A running version is here: https://derpanet.herokuapp.com/ All of the interesting code is here: https://github.com/Reefersleep/derpanet/blob/master/src/cljs/derpanet/core.cljs
A few years ago, when I did the BF talk, Søren (@Reefersleep) got inspired to write an interpreter in Clojure. He later offered to talk about it. I don't know if the offer still stands, but lets see what he says. (I hope people I mention here get notifications)
