Re: [lojban] Programming Languages for Lojban

["Robert J. Chassell" <bob@RATTLESNAKE.COM>]

   as i recently wrote in another post, i have been looking into using
   lojban to instruct wearable computers. my idea is to transform
   lojban into xml or s-expressions, then ....

Yes, this is exiting!

Also, it is a quite different task from that of asking questions such
as:

    My name is Bob, and my father was named Joseph, and his father was
    named Olin; what is the name of one of my grandfather's
    grandchildren?
      
And that is different from the task of

    Move to line after the word grandchildren; move forward another
    line.  Open up space.  Insert text saying `Moreover, that..'  Go
    to beginning of line; replace word that is there with the word
    `and' ....

It will be interesting to see what kind of `style' each of these
different tasks imposes on Lojban.  

Also, as a practical matter, I hope that the various
Lojban-as-programming-language developers will cooperate enough that a
person speaking or typing grammatical Lojban can do all the different
tasks on the same machine without having to know or think about
`hidden' factors, such as whether evaluation is strict or lazy.
