What they say
"Man, I just finished programming a little game with Alan, and let me tell you ALAN RULES!! It's so simple, *I* can program with it."
Rob Anderson
"If I was to write a new text adventure I wouldn't bother with any other authoring system. Alan is just that much easier."
Felix Pleșoianu
"I think its most attractive quality is simplicity, a quality that no other adventure creation language possesses."
Walt Sandsquish
"I-F languages are like vehicles ... using Alan is like driving a zippy, easy-handling little electric town car -- it's often all you need to take you where you want to go."
Lelah Conrad
"All those weirdly arranged parentheses, and semi-colons and strange curlicues hanging out in the middle of blank lines. Impossible. But when I looked at Alan I saw the light or, at least, English."
Eric Mayer
"An easy to learn system with the ability to do some amazing things."
