Meatball’s WikiFamilyTree led EarleMartin to link to PaulGraham’s What Languages Fix and a diagram that goes with it.

Nice. 😄

I wonder if it makes sense to do the same for wikis...

• *WikiWikiWeb**: Make webpages editable with any browser

• *UseMod**: WikiWikiWeb doesn’t support SoftSecurity very well

• *OddMuse**: UseMod is not easy to extend

• *ProWiki**: UseMod doesn’t have enough features

• *MoinMoin**: WikiWikiWeb is written in Perl but Python is better

• *WikkiTikkiTavi**: UseMod is written in Perl but PHP is better

• *MediaWiki**: UseMod doesn’t use a database

• *JotWiki**: WikkiTikkiTavi is written in PHP but Python is better
