MDL looks really interesting. Is there any similar modern-day language for more advanced (graphically and input wise) adventure games? Because if not I might build one...

MDL is a lisp descendent so you might find lisp an avenue worth investigating. I'd never seen MDL (or heard of it) before looking at this, but even before I googled to make sure, I could tell that it was heavily based on lisp.
