- Complete Lojban Language http://lojban.github.io/cll/1/2/

I only use CLL Lojban. I believe that an unambiguous language needs to have= a central, singular version to stay unambiguous.

I don't know much about the history of OpenGL but it, from a surface le= vel, seems similar to the history of C++, which I am familiar with.
By and large, new features are added to the C++ language, but every version= is backwards-compatible with older versions (and almost entirely compatibl= e with its predecessor, C).
An older compiler might choke on new language features, but a new compiler = will always work with old code.

Compiler vendors may introduce their own language features as forks (and th= ey are not considered standard C++), but there is always a standard/"s= trict" mode that can be enabled. Most good features that compilers int= roduce have been added to the official version, perhaps changed in a way to integrate them better.

This is what I think Lojban should be like.

I want all new / official Lojban versions to be CLL-compatible.



> "jbo_*" (imagine &= quot;jbo_FR", "jbo_EN", "jbo_CA"...),
I do not want there to be "jbo_A", "jbo_B", "jbo_C= "... that are all incompatible.

I do want "jbo_1", "jbo_2", "jbo_3"..., where= it's a sequential chronology and each is a more improved (but backward= s-compatible) version.

A tool could explicitly support "jbo_2" and it would implicitly s= upport "jbo_1". If a tool just says it supports "jbo", = it would be presumed to support the latest.



> But this group ("commit= tee"?) should accept the fact that language will evolve, whether they = like it or not.

I hope that this means that they accept the language can change, by backwar= ds-compatible design and not evolution via drift.

C++ does not at all "evolve" like a natural language and I don= 9;t think Lojban should, either. Because C++ has maintained a centralised s= tandard and continued to update, I think it possible for Lojban to do so.


> What is clear, however, is t= hat people don't want to use CLL Lojban (despite the fact that it is st= ill the most thoroughly documented version).

I do. I think most people want to use the latest version of something. I se= e the CLL Lojban as the latest version, for the backwards-compatibility rea= sons mentioned above.

I have seen CLL-incompatible versions advertised on the website and new lea= rners are likely to intuit that it's intrinsically better to choose the= "latest version", not knowing that learning the modern versions = entails embracing a schism.

> To be frank, I feel a bit be= trayed. I feel bad because my hope was that Lojban was more that just an ex= periment. Someone, please, prove me it is...

This is so true for me, and one of the reasons that I became more quiet (al= though I am writing an unannounced novel that contains CLL Lojban).

> I just don't want to spe= nd time learning things if they would be thrown away in a few months/years<= /span>

I believe all official Lojban changes must be backwards-compatible for Lojb= an to succeed in its goal of being unambiguous (let alone succeed in other = ways, such as adoption).



> E.g. learning a revised mean= ing {lo} is no big deal.

It's not just about learning, it's about effort invested in writing= tools, texts, chatbots and parsers (et cetera).
It's about breaking that promise in the CLL that the language will not = be subject to further fiddling.

Introducing changes that break Lojban compatibility will
- waste invested time in the older version
- waste invested money in buying the older CLL (etc)
- alienate those who wasted their time/money
- introduce more ambiguity (The Lojban version changes the meaning!!)

(Why did CLL-{le} become modern-{lo} and the modern-{le} get introduced, in= stead of just introducing the new {lo} to mean what modern-{le} means and k= eeping CLL-{le} as the default?)

As learning a revised meaning is no big deal, simply redoing these changes = to be compatible with CLL Lojban should be no big deal ;)



"Lojban does not yet have nearly the vocabulary it needs to be a fu= lly usable language of the modern world"
- Complete Lojban Language http://lojban.github.io/cll/1/2/

If we can agree to move forward using CLL Lojban and only make backwards-co= mpatible changes, then I can personally say I'll be happy to resume dev= oting time, energy and money into Lojban. Lojban's usefulness as an una= mbiguous language is so important to me.

It doesn't have to be "perfect" or "better", it jus= t has to be unambiguous and complete.


I want to help complete Lojban, and any processes of governance surrounding= it, to reunite it.

Thanks for reading,


mi'e la timoteios.

WOW! Timoteos states _exactly= _ what I believe is the _best_ path for lojban,and quite clearly. I have sa= id this before and hope it receives more positive attention this time becau= se of the venue and clarity.

This lack of backwards compatability I have run into sometimes, despite bei= ng told that everyone would understand me, is one major reason I stopped wo= rking on learning learning lojban about the time of the first schism.
