Deploy this to production on NEAR and fund it every step directly with staking rewards that are piped in from a small endowment and it will run forever.

Hell, I’ll give you the tokens myself just to see it go!

Good excuse to play with Rust or AssemblyScript https://docs.near.org/

NEAR doesn't look like a good choice if someone wants to create "The most expensive implementation of Game of Life (Probably the slowest too!)" :D NEAR is perfect to run a high performance simulation, there is an existing project http://berryclub.io/ where users may play on a pixelboard and earn rewards in the meanwhile
