> To me, Lojban and Esperanto as passtimes are too different to be in the same league, as it were, except of course insofar as competing for one's time (which is perhaps your whole point). I guess that holds for TP, too. Would you consider giving up, say, painting for soccer or cooking? I'd say learning E (for a speaker of an IE language, at least) means learning 'another' new language, albeit a unique one, but then which language isn't unique? As for L, there's still so many semantic fields to plow with-tool the very-uncommon (technical grammar, that is). ;)

I have concerns because I perceive that Lojban has such potential, but I have no idea how to demonstrate it. Also, unlike many Lojbani, I don't know anything about computer programming so I don't fit its culture (such as it is).
