Lojban texts are parsable, and it should at least be possible to formulate
computer programs in some lojban-compatible syntax.
I wonder if Lojban texts themselves could be considered as programs, just
as postscript documents can be.
Lojban parsing is very similar to SGML parsing, but SGML, unlike
Postscript, isn't a full-fledged programming language
What is needed to make Lojban "turing-complete"?
I am just looking for more arguments to further confuse the debate about
software patentability, see also
