You can _do_ it, but it's much harder to automatically generate programs
for languages that are not well-suited to it.  Since when you're putting
together a genetic programming system you get to choose which language
is used to generate programs (which is potentially totally separate from
the language used to create the system), it only makes good sense to
choose a well-suited language; choosing something else is just a waste
of time.
