  ooh, inform. before you can work out the english grammar for interacting with the game when the game is running, you have to work out how to interact with the english grammar when writing the grame itself. worst software idea ever, in my opinion.

    I don't know. I found it as you describe, but that was after spending decades with more conventional programming languages. Meanwhile, there are folks over in the IF community who, despite to the best of my knowledge never having written a meaningful amount of what you and I would recognize as code, turn out works of complexity I'd never have imagined you could achieve with Inform 7. It doesn't have all that much value to me, although I've found it fun to play with, but too many people have done too well with it for me to want to write it off entirely. I think we're just no more for it than it is for us.

    Inform6 was better if you wanted megasimple OOP approaches. The game practically wrote itself.

    I admire the absolute confidence here. I find it baffling, but still.
