Shane King (thandor#donut,dhis.org) spake thusly:
> I'm currently working on a mud design, and what I'm really a little

> 4) Write my own virtual machine, and write my own mud language.
5) Incorporate a general-purpose scripting language - Python's good
for this. Then worry about security ;)

I don't think anyone's actually /done/ this.
