Experimental 'Self modifying' programming

Does anyone know of a project that uses some sort of interpreted runtime, to perhaps, as an example will take a before and after text file and generate and run a program in its-self to produce the after result. So it combines a bit of lexing, fuzzy logic, NN, backtracking, genetic programing, software FPGA.

I am interested in how the horsepower of modern quad socket, quad core machines can开发者_C百科 help programmers in unusual ways. I normally program in Prolog so never care about speed, memory usage etc as the problems I solve take humans a week while a machine might take six hours.

This is a hobby, not homework, not work. Something to keep my servers busy rather than warming the planet

The advantage of NNs is that the training data can be almost anything. Not sure of an open source project off the top of my head but I'm sure Google would turn up a few dozen.
