tutti pensa all'esperanto subito e condannano al fallimento tutti questi progetti.

Beh pensate che anche l'italiano che stiamo parlando noi è nato come frutto della decisione arbitraria di un gruppo di poeti di costruire una lingua adatta ai loro canti, c'è voluto un po di tempo ed ovviamente è sempre in continua trasformazione la lingua, eppure...
quindi forse, qualcosa poi succede...

Why was Lojban developed?

Lojban was originally designed for the purpose of supporting research on a concept known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis: "the structure of a language constrains the thinking of people using that language". Lojban allows the full expressive capability of a natural language, but differs in structure from other languages in major ways. This allows its use as a test vehicle for scientists studying the relationships between language, thought, and culture.
Other uses for Lojban

Lojban was designed as a human language, and not as a computer language. It is therefore intended for use in conversation, reading, writing, and thinking. However, since Lojban can be processed by a computer much more easily than can a natural language, Lojban-based computer applications are a natural expectation. Due to its unambiguous grammar and simple structure, it can be easily parsed by computers, making it possible for Lojban to be used in the future for computer-human interaction, and perhaps conversation. Lojban's predicate structure is similar to AI, suggesting it as a powerful tool in AI processing, especially in the storing and processing of data about the world and people's conceptions of it. Linguists are interested in Lojban's potential as an intermediate language in computer-aided translation of natural languages. Other people are interested in Lojban as an international language.
The Lojban design

Lojban's character set uses only standard keyboard keys; capitalization is rare; punctuation is spoken as words. Written language corresponds exactly to the sounds of the spoken language; spelling is phonetic and unambiguous, and the flowing sounds of the language break down uniquely into words. These features make computer speech recognition and transcription more practical. Learning to write and spell Lojban is trivial.

Lojban's predicate grammar was derived from that of formal logic. Lojban sentences are stated as sets of arguments tied together by predicates. These predicate structures can be used to express 'non-logical' thought; logicians are able to analyze all manner of verbal expressions by converting them into predicate notation. But while Lojban will already be expressed in a predicate-based system, allowing easy logical analysis, it also contains the wide variety of elements found in natural language for expression of attitudes, emotions, and rich metaphor.

Lojban has none of the standard parts of speech. Lojban's 'predicate words' can serve as the equivalent of a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb. Action and existence are equally accessible to a speaker; the distinction can be ignored, or can be explicitly expressed. A variety of operators deal with abstractions such as events, states, properties, amounts, ideas, experience, and truth, and with at least four pre-defined varieties of causality.

Lojban has no mandatory inflections and declensions on nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Natural languages evolved such variations to reduce ambiguity as to how words are related in a sentence. Evolutionary development made these inflections and declensions highly irregular and thus difficult to learn. The simple but flexible predicate relationship erases both the irregularity and the declensions.
