Inform 7 is a work of art and one of the most interesting programming languages out there.

What in particular makes it so compelling?

I tried Inform years ago, and finding Rosetta Code solutions in Inform 6 and 7 intrigued me. The '99 Bottles of Beer' solution was the first I looked at then[1]. This was even after I had played with NLP in the 90s. It seemed right and strange at the same time.

This has been blown away by ChatGPT now!

Does inform generate the story (like ChatGPT)? Explored the Inform website. Not sure what am I looking at.

I don't think it generates the story for you, no. I think it handles parsing inputs as natural language, though.
