   5 Description
   6 -----------
   7 I want to try several different approaches to implementing Conway's Game of
   8 Life. It shall be recorded in this repo.
   9
  10 Each of the implementations (living in sequentially numbered directories) shall
  11 (eventually) have its own README file, documenting the approach taken.

  15 -------
  16 * __ID:__ 001,
  17   __Language:__ Erlang,
