Game of Life in APL in Forth

Game of Life is a classic, and if you haven't implemented a version of it yourself, you've missed out on a lot of fun. Alexander Serkov decided, to build a very special version. 

Alex's initial idea was to implement the simulation in APL. If that's not enough (🤪), Alex has one more. And that is with his own APL interpreter in Forth.

This super cool project is not only completely functional. Alexander has made the development documentation available on the Github repo that goes with apl-life.

Forth programming itself is kind-of-exciting™ in its own way. But the APL interpreter is the cherry on top and a nice exercise for a rainy weekend. The question is, when will there be another one of these? ☔️
