A quick lesson, cooperatively written with a student, about a trivial implementation of Conway's Game Of Life in different languages.
Informal testing on my MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) in "benchmark mode" with 50,000 iteratations, revealed the following fairly surprising times:
- life-js: 1.850 s
- life-rust: 0.524 s
- life-c++: 0.359 s
