I started learning Lojban about a month after beginning my fascination with
linguistics. I suspect that that fueled my Lojban interest, although the two
are now entirely separate in my mind.

Although I'm not a programmer (actually, I've been described as a programmer
who doesn't program by one of my friends), I am intrigued by the
possibilities inherent in a computer-parseable language. My dream is that in
the near future, someone will have both the time and the skill to create a
free, high-quality program that translates from Lojban into natural
languages. Such a development would revolutionize commerce, international
relations, and possibly even politics, as a document in a single language -
Lojban - could be read by anyone once the necessary functionality for their
native tongue was added. I believe that any such program would be
tremendously beneficial to the world.
