I'm dubious about the relevence of Rosetta to Lojban. It looks like a
hardware description language (and is, in particular, disturbingly similar
to VHDL).

And if you're wanting an inference engine of some sort, which understands
Lojban, I'd at least aim in the direction of something which already has
inferencing abilities.

I don't really see it offering anything to what it sounds like you're
interested in.

Have you perused the logic-based language section of the Open Directory
Project?
