The most popular example of this technology is [[PHP]], and is in fact the language that powers this wiki. When [[homestarrunner.com]] was hosted by [[Yahoo!]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] were (presumably) limited to using the '''[[MivaScript]]''' scripting language, which is more commonly used for e-commerce websites. MivaScript was rarely used on the site when [[The Brothers Chaps]] were hosted by Yahoo!, but now MivaScript, or any server-side scripting technology for that matter, has not been used for 21 years.
