Q) Is this Genetic Programming?, I think it is a GA or even a hill climbing algorithm.
A) I will claim that this is a GP due to the fact that the application clones and mutates an executable Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).
Even if the population is small, there is still competition between the parent and the child, the best fit of the two will survive.
