Discussion Thread
Still, my favorite has to be the LISP interpreter written in Conway's Game of Life written in LISP.

Ask HN: What piece of code/codebase blew your mind when you saw it?
Almost forgot - Lisp In Life. Pretty sure I first saw that on HN. IMO the more amazing thing is the Life-based processor, once you have that, the rest is a matter of adding layers. But it's one thing to know someone could do it, quite another to see it in action.

Run it in your browser here. Definitely worth zooming all the way in to get a sense of scale.

A Lisp Interpreter Implemented in Conway's Game of Life
Wow, thanks for those links. I am well acquainted with Lisp, but I never stumbled upon these. The video was great too.
I have played with Wasp Lisp which is very cool and the Wasp VM. And checkout how it can spawn drone nodes on different machines[1,2]. I think C and Lisp together are amazing. I have been using them for decades, but J and APL entered my life over 8 years ago, and I am hooked! Checkout a rework of the famous APL GoL demo. It's much easier to understand than the original[3]
