Share a niche programming language you have tinkered with before
Inform 7 is a domain-specific language for creating parser-based works of interactive fiction (i.e. old-school "text adventure games"). It does the heavy lifting of parsing and maintaining the consistency of the world model for the programmer.

Gaiman: Programming language for text-based games in browser
Neat. Have you ever seen Inform? http://inform7.com/ Might offer some inspiration on future features. It's a pretty cool language that's been around for a long time and has the same use case.
- Inform 7 v10.1.0 is now open-source

Programmers who will code themselves out of a job sounds soo juvenile.
like literate programming works great for something like text adventures, but for anything else its not clear if it will ever succeed.

Ken and Roberta Williams Working on Colossal Cave Adventure Remake for VR and PC
I discovered ADVENT because it was bundled in with DSLinux [0], the Linux distribution for the Nintendo DS. There was a long period in grade school where I was kinda obsessed with it and it's derivatives, especially Mike Arnautov's 770-point expansion [1]. I remember pulling apart his A-code sources (a custom DSL for implementing his versions of the game) to make my own additions to the game. From there I discovered the Inform 7 authoring system [2] and the wider text adventure/interactive fiction ecosystem.
I came into the whole thing comparatively late (sometime in the late 2000s, I guess?), but Colossal Cave is still a huge part of my childhood. Expansions, ports, remixes, and re-imaginings are already a tradition for the game: even the version most people are familiar with is Don Woods's expansion of Will Crowther's original code. I'm psyched to see the Williams's contribution to the canon!

Requesting help with making a text adventure game.
You're in luck. Inform, the best (IMO) tool is also pretty easy to use, and uses an English-like programming language: http://inform7.com
