And feel free to steal ideas from my Clojure BF->Native compiler.
https://github.com/halgari/mjolnir/blob/master/src/examples/bf.clj

Mjolnir Expressions are a bit different than Clojure, but it shouldn't be
to hard to write a BF Clojure compiler using this as a starting place.
Notice how the entire compiler builds up one gigantic S-Expression that
describes the current position of the index pointer. This sort of approach
works well with constant folding optimizations.

Anyway just one more place to draw ideas from.
