Müller designed Brainfuck with the goal of implementing the smallest possible [[compiler]],<ref>{{cite web |url=https://muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/bf/ |title=The Brainfuck Programming Language |publisher=Muppetlabs.com |access-date=2023-04-30 |archive-date=2023-05-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230503224855/http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/bf/ |url-status=live }}</ref> inspired by the 1024-[[byte]] compiler for the [[Esoteric programming language#FALSE|FALSE programming language]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://strlen.com/false-language/ |title=The FALSE Programming Language &mdash; Wouter van Oortmerssen |publisher=Strlen.com |date=2013-08-03 |access-date=2023-04-30 |archive-date=2023-04-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230430025341/https://strlen.com/false-language/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite AV media | url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjm9irBs96U&t=8722s | title = Tamedia TX 2017 - Livestream Werdino | date = 13 June 2017 | access-date = 30 August 2024 | archive-date = 11 August 2023 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230811071142/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjm9irBs96U&t=8722s | url-status = live }}</ref> Müller's original compiler was implemented in [[Motorola 68000]] [[Assembly language|assembly]] on the [[Amiga]] and compiled to a [[Binary file|binary]] with a size of 296 bytes. He uploaded the first Brainfuck compiler to [[Aminet]] in 1993. The program came with a [[README|"Readme" file]], which briefly described the language, and challenged the reader "Who can program anything useful with it? :)". Müller also included an interpreter and some examples. A second version of the compiler used only 240 bytes.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://aminet.net/package.php?package=dev/lang/brainfuck-2.lha |title=Aminet - dev/lang/brainfuck-2.lha |publisher=Aminet |access-date=2023-04-30 |archive-date=2023-04-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230430025339/https://aminet.net/package.php?package=dev/lang/brainfuck-2.lha |url-status=live }}</ref>
