Barge
The barge is a common 6-cell still life discovered by the JHC group in 1970.[1] It is infinitely extensible, and can be seen as a long version of the tub.

Commonness
Barge is the tenth most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than ship-tie but more common than half-bakery.[2] It is also the fourteenth most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue. It is the third most common 6-bit still life, being less common than the ship but more common than the aircraft carrier.[3]
gollark: JSON and CBOR and whatnot are good formats for structured data, and you can parse those easily into structured data in your language of choice with about a gazillion tools (there's even `jq` for shell scripting!), and exchange them nicely over HTTP/TCP/whatever networking thing.
gollark: Which tends to be made up ad-hoc and be some terrible hard to parse thing.
gollark: If you want to translate structured data, which is what programs mostly operate on, into plaintext, you need some other format on top of that.
gollark: No, it's not, it's an... encoding, I guess.
gollark: Just because Unix does things doesn't make those things sensible.
