There's also [0], which I found to be almost eerie, where someone has tried to use evolutionary programming for an FPGA, with the result that the winning generation exploited the analogue characteristics of the concrete FPGA chip being used (i.e. it did not work on another FPGA chip of identical type). Maybe I'm a bit peculiar, but this article sent chills down my spine. [0] http://www.damninteresting.com/on-the-origin-of-circuits/ http://www.damninteresting.com/on-the-origin-of-circuits/
