Re: [lojban] How it should have been. And how it could be.

Muhammad Nael, On 23/06/2011 11:35:

I'm very much interested in the language but more so in its idea, I'm
promoting a custom -not yet existing- form of it; so, my /looooong/
list of questions is: For all the gurus and regular Lojbanists out
there, imagine you're back where it all started, but with your
current experience, how would you like Lojban to be? Or, imagine that
you're using the current Lojban as a template for creating the
perfect logical language (as close to that), how would you want it
look like say, in year 2090? or a bit sooner if that's too far. What
decisions do you know were made in the very initial years of Lojban
that you wish weren't? is there any that you wish were /made/? and
why? If possible give examples. - the change should be enriching
Lojban's efficiency, making it easier to learn and moving it a step
closer to being a complete language.

I'll wait for replies, although I may not be able to make a reply myself today.


Whether starting from now, or if starting in 1960 but with the benefit of hindsight, the hypothetical neo-Lojban should start completely from scratch, preserving nothing of current Lojban (-- because everything in current Lojban could be drastically improved upon), but of course learning immensely from it -- which isn't an answer that is going to help you much with your short story. There is no community actively discussing a Neo-Lojban, but if there were, I imagine engelang@yahoogroups.com would be the least unsuitable forum for it.
