I have always thought that a language optimized for code golf, like this one, would be ideal to use for evolving programs. Use genetic algorithms to modify possible program sources (make sure your ways of combining programs include concatenating snippets of them) and evaluate the result to see (within the limits imposed by the halting problem which make it impossible to be certain whether it achieves the desired goal. It would be a way (probably quite inefficient) of writing programs for any task where we can measure whether the task is at least partially performed. Have you ever considered anything like this?
