exercise projects do not belong to [sic] HN

You've used HN for 38 days and you are already saying what kinds of programming articles should and shouldn't be on HN?

Sorry, but this is exactly the sort of thing we should see on HN.

But this project is just a JIT for Brainfuck, there's no creativity in it, and all it did was give the author some experience writing JITs.

How exactly do you define creative?

The author applied his programming skills to create something that didn't exist before. That's creative.
