One small but exciting step in the right direction.

Can you imagine in the future, we could have translations from logical code to biochemical pathways. You could specify the dependencies of a cell you are building in a similar fashion to (maven, npm, make).

Using bioinformatics data to configure your cells behaviour.

There would be compilation errors were cells would not be stable or materialise, and runtime errors in which a metabolic or other type of pathway fails, causing the cell to throw an exception (dies/ or emits other action).

I would truly relish the moment when my cell gets a virus.
