not all evolution converges, and even if it would converge, you might want to influence where it's going, no?

- nnq 14y agoyes. but imagine how dog breeders influence where a certain dog race's evolution is going... I imagine a day when some of the computer systems will be engineered this way, with a good mathematical framework for evolution and all... and I think we're closer to this than it may seem, just look how programming languages "evolved" and were "selected" in the last half a century... everything was very empirical, otherwise we'd all be coding in a Lisp for experimental programming and an ML family language for the rest maybe... ...anyway, it's going very off topic so better leave it and let's get back to ..."work" :|
