Writing any non-trivial program in such simple cellular automata is often too difficult to be pratically feasible. Think of designing a race car by specifying the position of each individual atom.
If you’ve got a modular way of implementing logical operations in a cellular automaton, which wedo in Life, you could automate the tedious parts by using a VHDL-like system. The resulting grid would be impractically huge, but there’s probably no good way around that.
