Here is a CoffeeScript implementation of Hashlife

That does not credit Bill Gosper.

Where doesn't it give appropriate credit?

1. The description line for the Github package reads "Gosper's HashLife in CoffeeScript"

2. The readme says: "Cafe au Life implements Bill Gosper's HashLife algorithm."

3. The docs say "Cafe au Life is based on Bill Gosper's brilliant <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashlife>HashLife</a&#6...; algorithm."

Well, I could be wrong but I swear did an 'F3' on the page earlier to search for Gosper and it seemed like it wasn't there then.

Apologies for not being able to use a browser and falsely accusing you!

Credit for ideas is important. I'd rather 100 people falsely accuse me than have one omission slip through. Thanks for caring.
