Can be compressed very efficiently. I do dread the thought of writing a driver in brainfuck.

Can be compressed very efficiently.

Which basically means: "You have to write more code than actually needed". It's more a con than a pro in my eyes.

Hot take: As a VM with only eight instructions, it's very easy to code and securely sandbox. Maybe BF has utility as a compilation target?

decided to check : mandelbrot can be compressed by 87.5% by gzip on maximum compression strength

Why specifically a driver ?

Hardware is complex and mysterious enough without added complexity of an esoteric language.
