Lich is a software tool that functions as a scripting engine designed for MUDs (Multi-User Dungeons) that have text-based interfaces.
Incorporated within Lich, you'll discover a modified version of the Ruby interpreter, which proposes the ability to create and execute scripts using the Ruby language. But why Ruby? One reason is that Ruby is a language that adapts to you, as opposed to other languages that demand you to adapt to them. Ruby possesses an elegant independence that abstracts programming's mundane details, making it conducive to utilizing its features without worrying about cloistered details.
There are tremendous benefits to Ruby that I appreciate, such as its extensible design, which can make creating programs enjoyable. To save time, I'll say this - I chose Ruby because it's my personal choice and because the interpreter and an autonomously developed software complement each other beautifully.
