Wikiplia

Wikiplia was an attempt to create "The Free Programming Language That Anyone Can Edit". While created as a joke for the SIGBOVIK 2007 conference, it was really implemented, but unfortunately the wiki it used is now dead. However, some documentation remains.

Wikiplia has a small core language and interpreter, including a simple S-expression parser, a functional core language evaluator, a version-controlled file storage, and a bare web interface. On top of this was built a simple compiler to the core language, and a web-based user interface.
