Or it's simply unlucky about attracting devoted and fervent fans, or
conlangs are just too esoteric to ever attract a following the size
of, e.g. Python.

The thing that makes Lojban different from some half-finished project
on Sourceforge is that Lojban doesn't lose its relevance over time
nearly as quickly as something that's about software. So Lojban
doesn't need the level of dedication that a software project gets in
order to stay alive. This is not to say that I'm sure that Lojban is
healthy. I think it's probably OK, though a bit slow-moving. And I'm
doing my part.
