@neural Winnie is here @siusoon
This inspired me to pull out my copy of the book. In chapter 5 Auto-generator there is a module on the classic mathematics game Langton's Ant, that 'simulates the molecular logic of an ant.' I manually translated the code in the book to the L5 library in Lua.
Here's a recording showing it running in VS Codium, using the new L5lua extension.

This is definitely more work than I want to take on (and also I just kinda started doing this to help with the nerves of finding a new psych). But, I can run a very basic L5 demo on LÖVE 0.9.
If you wondering why, NetBSD only support OpenGL 1.0 and I thought it'd be neat if I could have L5 work on it. This is only enough backporting to get this demo working. And doesn't really account for anything beyond that.
edit: NetBSD for my netbook's GM3150 only supports OpenGL 1.0
