Euclid-Mullin sequence

From Rosetta Code
Task
Euclid-Mullin sequence
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Definition

The Euclid–Mullin sequence is an infinite sequence of distinct prime numbers, in which each element is the least prime factor of one plus the product of all earlier elements.

The first element is usually assumed to be 2. So the second element is : (2) + 1 = 3 and the third element is : (2 x 3) + 1 = 7 as this is prime.

Although intermingled with smaller elements, the sequence can produce very large elements quite quickly and only the first 51 have been computed at the time of writing.

Task

Compute and show here the first 16 elements of the sequence or, if your language does not support arbitrary precision arithmetic, as many as you can.

Stretch goal

Compute the next 11 elements of the sequence.

ALGOL 68

Works with: ALGOL 68G version Any - tested with release 2.8.3.win32

Uses ALGOL 68G's LONG LONG INT which has programmer specifiable precission, the default is sufficient for this task.
Although the first 16 elements will all fit in 64 bits, the product exceeds 64 bits after the ninth element.

Works with jq, gojq and jaq, that is, the C, Go and Rust implementations of jq. (*)

Adapted from Algol 68

(*) The precision of jq and jaq is insufficient to compute more than the first nine numbers in the sequence (i.e., beyond 38709183810571). gojq's memory consumption becomes excessive after the first 16 numbers in the sequence are produced.

Note that, as discussed on the Talk page, Pollard's Rho algorithm won't necessarily find the lowest factor, however it does for the first 16 elements.
As with the other Lua sample, only 8 elements are found due to the size of some of the subsequent ones.

This finds the first 16 in 0.11 seconds but the next 11 takes 6 minutes 17 seconds.

If we could assume that Pollard's Rho will always find the smallest prime factor (or a multiple thereof) first, then this would bring the runtime down to 44 seconds and still produce the correct answers for this particular task. However, in general it is not safe to assume that - see discussion in Talk Page.
