> This reminds me of Inform 7 (where you can use "natural language" to program text adventure games) The problem (at least, the problem I had) with Inform 7 is that it's not really natural language; it still has a strict formal grammar defining its syntax, it's just that the grammar has lots of "synonyms"; multiple syntaxes for the same thing. But it's still following strict rules, and those rules can't cover everything. This leads to situations where you write some "plain English" and it seemingly understands it, but then you write tiny variation and it throws up a syntax error.
