"I-F languages are like vehicles ... using Alan is like driving a zippy, easy-handling little electric town car -- it's often all you need to take you where you want to go."

What They Say about Alan!
IF Languages are like vehicles
No weirdly arranged parenthesis
"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
Even I
"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
Easy to learn
"Well, it was very easy to learn and it's easy to do stuff in it."
Mikko Vuorinen
Real capabilities
"[the game] does not represent the real capabilities of the Alan Language but does demonstrate Alan's amazing ability to allow someone who has never done an iota of computer programming of any kind to produce SOMETHING within a few weeks!"
Eric Mayer (on his game HeBGB Horrors)
