It should be there - a few months back we had a fair length discussion about the concept. The gist of it was that, sure lojban would be good, but you'd need a semantics to attach to it. As of right now, there's nothing really close to that. You'd think Prolog would be an obvious match, and people have done mappings from a subset of Prolog to a subset of lojban, but many things basic (endemic?) to Prolog, like the cut, don't really fit well.
