RCRPG/Racket
< RCRPG
This Racket version of RCRPG uses standard in, out and error. Error reports come out on the current error port, so if someone wanted to wrap it, they'd be able to tell what's a happy response and what's not.
RCRPG/Racket is part of RCRPG. You may find other members of RCRPG at Category:RCRPG.
All the commands listed on the blog post are implemented, as well as look and unequip.
There's plenty of scope for emitting things in natural (even internationalised) language. But I've not gone down that long and windy path. I've been studiously lazy about it. All the items begin with consonants, so no need for a/an descriminating; and why count "no ladders", "a ladder", "two ladders"... when you can just say "a ladder", "a ladder and a ladder", "a ladder, a ladder and a ladder"? (Plus this way who cares if gold is countable or not)
