@orangy it’s for sure much clearer
but the original question was about verbosity
i’d reconcile your answer with the original form
and take advantage of the ordering

when {
    currentCellState == Alive && liveNeighbours in 2..3 -> Alive
    currentCellState == Alive -> Dead       
    liveNeighbours == 3 -> Alive
    else -> Dead 
}
