This reminds me of the old BBS game Tradewars 2002 that in later years (1999-present?) metamorphosed into a scripting based game played primarily by developers and amateur coders. As with Schemaverse, it's also a space-trading game although of course there is an interface - albeit text only. This is clearly taking programming dependency a step further, and I would love to play it if I still had time to devote to any form of gaming.
