The biggest flaw of the Infinity Engine is that it has no capacity for functions like (determine if creature X is a valid target for spell Y). It doesn't even have the most basic things that most programmers take for granted, such as arrays, subroutines, 'until' statements--hell, the damn language doesn't even have 'FOR' loops. Take another look at Dundee's code: It's all IF, THEN, END. Not even a single ELSE in the whole damn thing.

And I thought C++ was ugly.
