Not in lojban, right.
I just wanted to point out that mathematics doesn't care.

It resembles neither. It's a language used for communication,
not for computation and comparisons to programming languages are all
invalid anyway in my opinion. Natural discourses usually have topics/focused
objects and those normally go in front in lojban. If you're a lisp programm=
er
and prefer prefix notation to everything else, you can do that by appending
{fa} to all of your bridi. Would be an interesting style of lojban to read.
