It's a higher-level language for MapReduce operations.
Which means it's a way of processing data across a network of
computers. So you can pass each cell out to a single computer and it
will process it (more realistically every 3 cells for a CA or every 9
cells for Life). This would allow you to process amazingly large CAs
very quickly.
