Synthesis
French kiss was one of the best-known oscillators with no known glider synthesis[2] until October 2013, when Martin Grant presented a 23-glider synthesis.[3] BlinkerSpawn found an 18-glider synthesis based on soups identified by Goldtiger997 on January 12, 2017;[4] further improvements were made the same day by Mark Niemiec and Luka Okanishi, yielding 16- and 10-glider synthesis respectively.
gollark: Naturally.
gollark: Websockets = TCP sockets (mostly) but with a fancy HTTP-y wrapper so they can be used in JS.
gollark: A GraphQL REST API written in Go using Docker and Google Cloud, obviously.
gollark: Also, neater, and with less syntactic noise.
gollark: And more hosqolfull.
