programming, can optimise software and software
engineering, including evolving test benchmarks, search
meta-heuristics, protocols, composing web services,
improving hashing and garbage collection, redundant
programming and even automatically fixing bugs. Often
there are many potential ways to balance functionality
with resource consumption. But a human programmer
cannot try them all. Also the optimal trade off may be
different on each hardware platform and it could vary
over time or as usage changes. It may be genetic
programming can automatically suggest different trade
offs for each new market.",
