Awesome! Replacing one block with another is clever, although it's tricky when organisms of one species are adjacent to organisms of another species.

I've played around with a similar idea in falling sand games [0], where individual cells interact to create new cells, but I got stuck developing a language flexible enough for greater expressiveness while still being performant.

You were developing a new language? Javascript is great because you can see the results in a browser. I'm a bit torn because java is easier for developing this kind of data intensive thing.
