Re: [lojban] Andrew Piekarski, aka totus, is awesome.

This is astonishing.

I am not just using hyperbole when I say this moved me deeply. I used
to be a great booster of Lojban, but I was just about to give up on
this language, thinking that it would never receive this kind of
usage. And then two things happened to restore my confidence: Robin
took executive fiat over language development work, and now this. The
language looks like a fulfillment of its promise to be something that
fun projects can be built in.

Thank you so much, totus, and Robin. I am increasingly convinced my
work over the years has not been in vain.
