Yup! You'd also have a hard time in doing anything in terms of creating
the world in it. That's why I think there should be (at least!) 2
languages in the MUD. One to create the world (softcoding), and one
for scripting. I have pretty firm ideas about what I want in a softcoding
language, but I'm quite interested in thoughts, like Dr. Cat's, as to
what should be in a scripting language.

Don't design inefficiency in - it'll happen in the implementation.
