At first, I thought it was referring to the conversation program, Eliza.

Then I thought it was referring to a programming language, Eliza.

Now I think it is referring to a modern programming language created to replicate the implementation of the conversation program, ELIZA.

The whole thing could have been far less confusing if:

1. The page provided more context about what ELIZA is.

2. If ELIZA is indeed a programming language (a Lisp?) inspired by the original ELIZA, it would be a good idea to give it a different name.

Anyway, it was frustrating to read this page so I have stopped.
