ANNOUNCE: A Simple Genetic Algorithm in NewLisp...

Hi!
In my quest to construct a program to derive the question to the answer of Life, the Universe and Everything (which is, as any schoolchild knows, 42), I wrote a very simple genetic algorithm solver.
I don't mean simple as in "simple to use", I mean absolute braindead simple. By some definitions, this is not really a genetic algorithm because the "genome" is the same as the data being operated on (there is no "expression"), but it's a cute toy and somebody else might find it entertaining as well:

I am currently hard at work on a new program which will use a genetic algorithm to do lossy image compression through vector shapes, just have to teach NewLisp about reading %.png files...
