TinTin++ 2.0 has just in time compilation and is equal to C with the exception that low level string processing must be done with regular expressions. The language is typeless and provides associative arrays as well.

Another advancement is that scripts can be multi-lined and indented, in the past the typical tintin script was one long line of commands, making scripts so unreadable that any kind of serious programming was out of the question.

From my own experience most things are a breeze to script, low level string operations require some creativity with regex, and if push comes to shove you can use #script to use another scripting language.

Another cool feature that I don't believe any of the other mud clients offer is that you can run console programs like pine, lynx, ssh, and sftp within TinTin++ with full scripting capabilities.
