Welcome to our little mailing list. I
suspect you’ll find lojban extremely easy to start learning given a
programming background. If you think of a bridi as a function call you’ll
pick up on the grammar in no time.
However, I wouldn’t hold my breath
for lojban as an interface language between humans and computers, if you’d
like to talk about why I’d love to, but this is a light welcome to the
community email, not a discussionnary one.

Subject: [lojban] Greetings from
Venezuela

My name is Angel Ramirez Isea. I currently live in the western region of
Venezuela, near the Colombian border. I'll soon be 34 years old. I'm currently
working in the area of endogenous development (sustainable development at a
small community level) projects design, writing and calculation. I'm founder
and associate of a Cooperative.
My interest in lojban came by reading and article published in www.aporrea.org (translation
of the one published in the Wall Street Journal). I googled "lojban"
up and found the official web site. I buy the idea of a logical language. I've
taught English as a Foreign Language and I have studied some Portuguese. I've
also toyed with Greek, Italian, Latin, Japanese and even Chinese, but, alas,
without a serious discipline. That interest has allowed me to appreciate the
logic in lojban and I'm resolute to learn it.
I like music and I understand some of its language. Additionally, I'm a
programmer. I started with Tandy's Color Basic, and followed through Visual
Basic 6 (Micro$oft) and GAMBAS (Linux). I've programmed in C, C++, Viasual C,
dBase, FoxPro, FORTRAN, HP calculators, etc. Probably, I'm into education
because it somehow feels like "programming people" ;)
I hope that sooner than later lojban will take off and will serve as an
interface between humans and computers. Also, I'm thrilled about the
possibility of more logically structuring my own thoughts.
Best wishes,
Angel en Casigua.
