How close is or isn't this to a genetic algorithm in practice? It seems like as soon as you start scaling out to multiple threads/nodes you'd benefit from crossover, selection techniques and so on?

This looks cool. My most recent attempt at language creation was a bit esoteric, for code golf [0]

Cool story, thanks! Perhaps you can solve a mystery phone hiccup that happened to me a few years ago? I called a friend (mobile to mobile if it matters) and, from memory, about 20 minutes into this call I get disconnected, _but_ I instantly end up on a call with an elderly stranger instead, who seemed pretty irritated she was now on the phone with me. I was surprised enough that she hung up before I could form a coherent sentence to explain what had happened so I've no idea if she was trying to ring someone or if the same thing happened to her or if she'd dialed my number by accident. From what I remember it seemed like she was also already mid-conversation as well though.
