I'm starting to introduce someone to programming and am putting together a MUD-style game in Typescript for them to hack on. I kind of wish that instead of magic strings in JSON this was a JS object where the values could be functions. Introducing more than one syntax for variables, etc., could be confusing at the beginning.
