Genex - Genetic Algorithms in Elixir

I agree! I believe Genetic Algorithms will play a hand in some ground breaking developments in the future - they’re so simple, but they can do so much.

Most of this library is for my own research and discovery. I find things in papers, other libraries, etc. that I like and try to implement them. I’m happy other people get some enjoyment out of it as well.

Agree max and seanmor! While back had a real world use-case recently involving solving a travelling salesman problem with a few quirks making it have to be customized (too many nodes, multiple robot arms, extra rules etc). First implementation was with a genetic algorithm adapted from a Rust program and it worked very well. It’s a fun algorithm to play with and the use cases may be rare but the dudes that finally need it will appreciate this kind of lib very much
