I know I've mentioned this before, but I came into Lojban specifically
because of a Heinlein book. Although it wasn't TMIAHM. I hadn't read
that yet. I was reading Number of the Beast, and there are references to
Deety programming with Loglan. I was curious if this was a real
programming language. So I hit google. I found both Lojban and Loglan. I
initially dismissed Lojban because it appeared to be a half-assed fork
from people who decided that they didn't like the way Loglan was being
run (full-assed, now I realize). Then I noticed the conspicuous lack of
any Loglan community to speak of. That was the end of that.
