Genetic algorithms (GA) and genetic programming (GP) are interesting areas of research.

I'd like to know about specific problems you - the SO reader - have solved using GA/GP and what libraries/frameworks you used if you didn't roll your own.

Questions:

What problems have you used GA/GP to solve?
What libraries/frameworks did you use?

I'm looking for first-hand experiences, so please do not answer unless you have that.
