Is there a way to package an interpreter with a story?
Here's the github repo, it was just open sourced last week. You can compile it from source now, and I imagine the UI frontends will be updated in a couple of weeks. IIRC, compiling directly to other languages is now possible, although I'm not sure how much that impacts your use case.
- First python text-based adventure

Six programming languages I’d like to see
RMS never played nice on interoperability. I wouldn’t bet on the CDL to become a useful standard, because it is under-powered, under-specified and stagnant.
The “open” alternative is OASIS. Their Open Exposure Data standard [1] is complete and supported by many industry participants. Unfortunately it’s a database based format, rather than a text based DSL, but still betterthan the alternatives.
