GP/lisp question

[Matthew M Murphy]

I looked through the archives, but I hope I am not asking a previously
asked question.

My question is this:

First, a vague summary of my general goal:
I ideally want to incorporate lisp expressions into my simulation.  I want
to create functions so that my agents can exchange information and
information about the structure of that information.
   
Depending on the particular functions that an agent has access to, the
interpretation of the information may differ, or the information may be
uninterpretable.  The goal is to evolve a homogeneous class of functions
that serve the interpretive "needs" of the agents, as well as to evolve
the arguments (the data) according to the functions that have been
selected.

It occurs to me that perhaps a language such as ML would also work well
for this kind of thing.

However, as I have been reading over the archive, it is not clear to me
whether anyone has in fact written GP libraries for Swarm.  I have seen
some mention of tcl as an alternative, but I don't know enough about tcl
to understand whether it is "lisplike" in the ways that make lisp famous,
or if it has just been mentioned because Swarm can already interpret it.

Can anyone suggest where I might turn for more information, or what I
might do to achieve the kind of goal mentioned above?

Any comments or advice will be very much appreciated,

-Matt
