Veni, Vidi, Evolvi (commentary on W. B. Langdon’s "Jaws 30")

Genetic programming (GP) has been pushing the boundaries of what a computer may achieve in an autonomous way since its introduction. Over the years, John Koza himself tracked some one hundred results that are competitive with human- produced ones in a wide variety of fields, and success stories have been steadily published by both scholars and practitioners in the specialized literature. However, we cannot help noticing that today GP is largely underutilized in the real-world domains where it was originally supposed to excel.
