Yes, unless you're someone like me who knows a bit of Lojban but
virutally no C++ (I bought the "C++ in 10 minutes" book several
months ago, and still haven't got further than "Hello World"). 
As someone who wrote their last program 15 years ago, I'd really
appreciate either a Lojban programming language or a Lojban
"front-end" to an existing language.
