Overview

This is an attempt at grammatical evolution, subsuming the GED project. Grammatical evolution is similar to genetic programming, but it is able to generate code in any arbitrary language. The actual genome representation for a generated program or algorithm is merely a sequence of codons. Each codon represents a choice to make in a BNF for the language the final program is to be written and tested in.
