"Evolution has almost exclusively adopted destructive aging processes in every form of life on the planet. The fact that we can't conclusively answer why this is so is reason enough not to temp fate in this way." I'd say it's pretty obvious

Turing-completeness doesn't guaranty any sort of I/O, which I would make a requirement of a nice language. I may be able to write a Lisp interpreter using Conway's Game of Life, but then I have to represent my Lisp code within the cellular
