Author here. I agree. It does seem like "Inform 7 done right" and I really like the Prolog evaluation model.

I didn't know about Dialog when I wrote this article (learned of it just yesterday!) but unless life gets in the way I will explore it in a future article.

While poking around I found this side-by-side comparison of Inform 7 & Dialog. Seems instructive.

This is great illustration of the brilliance of Inform 7.

I understand the appeal of Dialog -- Inform 7 can be really awkward for traditional programming constructs -- but I think I'd rather write ZIL if I'm going back to the usual control structures and OOP-style messaging.
