Besides simple rules the other requirement is Altruism. Everyone in the colony takes care of the children of one queen.
Can you imagine the chimp troupe doing any such thing? Siblings will kill each other and their kids rather than do that.
People think its related to Ants being haplodiploid.
Altruism in large social groups is something chimps haven't worked out yet. Which is why we have the MIL complex and war.
So if you are an algo engineer check out Haplodiploidy.

But their close relatives, the Bonobos, apparently have.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonobo#Behavior:
> Primatologist Frans de Waal states bonobos are capable of altruism, compassion, empathy, kindness, patience, and sensitivity, and described "bonobo society" as a "gynecocracy".

Well, it says WEB applications, so presumably this is something that will run in a browser, which implies some flavour of Javascript.
Tangentially, I've been interested in this space for a while, and I have a few in-progress projects built on CouchDB. My aim was to offer the offline app for free and monetize through sync / sharing features. This would've mirrored my cost structure (hosting), so I thought it was a pretty fair way to monetize a product.
easy to find from the homepage:

> The core library is shipped both as a Rust crate p2panda-rs with WebAssembly bindings and a NPM package p2panda-js with TypeScript definitions running in NodeJS or any modern web browser.

And now that observer no longer gets invited on any boats
I think they'd be more worried about the relatively large number of suspicious deaths in that industry increasing:

if the kdramas are indicative of their society, they believe kissing will make you pregnant ;-) seriously, they should take a page out of japan's playbook- legalize pornography and establish a contest to encourage economic and population growth :-)

This kind of happens to slow aging reptiles too.
Massive snakes like anacondas, reticulated pythons and such are partly arboreal when small. When bigger, they can't really climb or hide in trees. Same thing for giant monitors. Komodo dragons are arboreal when small, and live a different lifestyle once large. They're kind of like different species, inhabiting different ecological niches.
I wonder how some snakes' ability to atrophy and regenerate internal organs (including the heart) is related to aging: https://www.tacc.utexas.edu/-/how-pythons-regenerate-their-o...
