Hey! Have you come across the recent(ish) paper from Google researchers about self-replicators? In one of their experiments they used a self-modifying (metaprogrammable) variant of BrainFuck that I've found very interesting for EAs. I haven't fully replicated their findings as I've been experimenting with better ways to observe the evolution progress, but perhaps it might be interesting for your work as well.
