| Purpose | CA specification language that transpiles to Golly ruletable language |
| Created by | M. I. Wright |
| Platform | Python 3.6 or later |
Nutshell is an open-source cellular automaton higher-level specification language that transpiles to the ruletable language supported by Golly. Developed by M. I. Wright and initially released April 17, 2018,[1] Nutshell is designed for flexibility and ease of use and is extensively documented.
The foremost feature of Nutshell is not binding variables by name, which means that the same variable name can be used multiple times in a transition without needing to define uniquely-named variants as is required in a Golly table. This makes for more compact and readable scripts.
