Giles is refering to two (The Wikimud) [2] entries (Some more musings on the
WikiMUD) [3] I wrote five years ago. It was more of a passing idea than
anything I really wanted to work on and over the years I felt that the most
likely language to implement the WikiMUD would be JavaScript (as it's pretty
much Lisp in imperative form … kind of … if you squint real hard … and wave
your hands around a lot), but over the past month or so, I'm thinking Lua [4]
would be a good candidate as well.

Especially given that I can now write network services in Lua [5].

Okay, doesn't mean I'll actually write a WikiMUD … just that now I'm in a
better position to start, if I decide to.

Or someone can …

Or something …
