Yes, I agree. That’s why I modeled mine so closely to Ink’s syntax.
To be honest, if Ink provided a reliable saving feature, the ability to click links inside of lines of text, and the ability to add a scripting (of JS, C#, whatever) directly inside the lines of the Ink script, I don’t think I would have ever started this project. 
It turns out that I could have probably implemented some of those things (minus the embedded scripting) into Ink if really tried, but they would have been really clunky.
I’m kind of happy I continued the project anyway because it now has a bunch of features that like I from various other scripting projects (even including some from Inform 7) mixed in there, plus some of my own original ideas of course.
