Heh. Pike is an outgrowth of the MUD world's LPC programming language. A
guy named "Profezzorn" started a project (in '94?) to redevelop an LPC
compiler/interpreter ("driver") from scratch to avoid some licensing
constraints. The project grew into a generalized network handler, since
MUDs' typical designs are excellent for these tasks. From there, you get
the Roxen web server.
