[Vm-dev] Tangential: A Lisp Interpreter Implemented in Conway's Game of Life

[Yoshiki Ohshima]

I am pretty sure I wrote it much earlier than 2010... Some methods
timeStamps are 1999 so that is more plausible.

It is cool that it runs... But Smalltalk is not modular or designed to be
timeless but it still runs. That might be something we should consider what
it means.
