History

gollark: I'm GETTING to that.

gollark: "Apioforms" were invented by Heavpoot in early July, and spread out of direct messages to here a week or so later.

gollark: The whole thing began earlier this year when esolangs started really liking bees, which picked up in May.

gollark: Well, I can explain it *briefly* now.

gollark: A more comprehensive account of the apioform would include its history and evolution, as well as the communities where it's now most prevalent.
