Self plug but I used WebGL and the texture technique to build: https://www.doorsofdelirium.com/
Click on Random a few times to get a flavour. Uses the GOL concept as a brush to spawn cells combined with some fun shader techniques to colour.

Like Carlin said, Earth will be fine, it's been through worse before. It's the people who are fucked.
I like Carlin. I like the joke. The problem is we're taking a huge number of species with us. That is after all what makes Earth special compared to any other barren rock.

Is the current API under test?
Your number #1 priority with any port or major refactor is getting the current implementation defined and under test, so any replacement can be tested against the same tests.
Once you've done that you should have a solid foundation and understanding of what the API actually does.
In getting it under test, you'll also build up better mental models of which parts are actually separate and easily testable and which parts aren't.
Then you can get to work replacing and testing each unit, then build them back up on the other side.
Adding to this:

If I can craft tests up front in terms of the higher level goals then when I finish a subcomponent or get distracted by something else the higher level test is there for me to fall back on to figure out what to do next.
A Confederacy of Dunces is amazing. It’s in my top 5. Not in the same vein but I read Flowers for Algernon for the first time as an adult and it really touched my soul.
This new wave of social investment platforms is really exciting. Stocktwits is just noise. I'm still shocked Twitter hasn't capitalized on cashtags by at least showing market data. I've recently been a big fan of Commonstock: https://commonstock.com/ it actually allows you to link your broker through Plaid and shows a leaderboard based on actual % gain on positions.
That said, I like you bringing more competition to the scene!

If you're in to the space race, don't miss Public Service Broadcasting - Race for Space album. They have an epic track for Gagarin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY-kAnvOY80
The entire album is one of my favourites of all time.
Maybe you can charge companies to be hidden from the service :D
Surely you're joking, Mr ambivalents!
