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
"Another thing I'm sure of, the game will again be in Alan."
Eric Mayer
"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
"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
"I think it's the best IF language I've ever seen - and I *am* a programmer."
Andrew Heale
"Alan definitely met my expectations. I was able to create two pretty large, complex games with no prior programming experience."
