Some of the MOO's programming is pretty easy. I think I used to use something called cyber.

You would create your world by creating rooms and exits. With just the to you could create some nice areas. Note an exit from a room could be something like 'kill dragon'

It got more complex with key objects and automated objects but even with simple rooms and exits a person could be very creative.

Yes, but if you want to make, say, a chess AI or a computer algebra system, then your code ends up being much longer and harder to read than it would be in Python.
