Re: Interactive Fiction goes Hi-Tech

I considered the Inform natural-language coding as a basis for my own scripting language...

However, I think you'll find that natural language will get in you way as soon as you try to do anything beyond basic IF, especially why you try to do math (which is much of a MUD's coding). Some IF authors really like inform 7's NLP, while others complain that they have often have to (a) find work-arounds, or (b) set the magic flags and turn on Inform 6 coding within Inform 7.
