Entropy Stew wrote: A lot of the decisions Kent made in making Hugo come down to him speccing (is that a word?) it against 16-bit DOS computers. So there's limitations like 8 character filename limits and the like. GIFs were under some stupid software patent, so he didn't allow support for that when it first came out. However, he had dynamic types in 1995, which is right when Ruby also came out. He improved a lot of annoying things from Inform, like having to end lines with a semicolon, and Inform's syntax for inheritance, which was something like "class --> object --> --> thing" (I can't remember it exactly, but it's close to that.) I suspect that TADS3 scratches the itch of a competent OO programmer working in 2012 like yourself. I'm in a situation where I have 12 years of experience in Hugo, so I am sticking with it so I can get games out faster. (And I do love the language and community.) It has been interesting going from programming in Java for the day job and Hugo at nights, however. :) ICJ |
