Don't blame me. I've always been against
turning wikitext into a
programming language.
Why?
Aside from the issue of simplicity which has already been mentioned,
there's the issue that as the language gets bigger, user-contributed
bugs become more numerous and subtle.
Exactly, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a distributed programming
contest, whose ouput accidentily looks like an encyclopedia :)
