Author here. I agree. It does seem like "Inform 7 done right" and I really like the Prolog evaluation model.
I didn't know about Dialog when I wrote this article (learned of it just yesterday!) but unless life gets in the way I will explore it in a future article.

Seems instructive. https://www.linusakesson.net/dialog/craverly/craverly_side_by_side.html https://www.linusakesson.net/dialog/craverly/craverly_side_b... https://www.linusakesson.net/dialog/craverly/index.php https://www.linusakesson.net/dialog/craverly/index.php
- KerrAvon 1y agoThis is great illustration of the brilliance of Inform 7. I understand the appeal of Dialog -- Inform 7 can be really awkward for traditional programming constructs -- but I think I'd rather write ZIL if I'm going back to the usual control structures and OOP-style messaging.
