Communist ( @communist@beehaw.org ) 26•2 years agoThat’s why I wish lojban would take off, although I know it never will.
summary of lojban I posted elsewhere:
I’m learning lojban with my girlfriend right now for many reasons, I think this language would be absolutely insanely wonderful for autistics, for a few reasons
- It’s syntactically unambiguous, this means every sentence only has one meaning
- Attitudinals, at the start of your sentence, you actually state the tone it is meant to be interpreted in (you can see how that could be massive for autistic people alone)
- Text has the exact same meaning as the spoken language: Y’know how in english, you have to write punctuation marks? in lojban, those are words, meaning when combined with attitudinals, the written language has feature parity with the spoken language.

pokexpert30 ( @pokexpert30@lemmy.pussthecat.org ) 2•2 years agoWhat are those? I’m confused
Communist ( @communist@beehaw.org ) 1•2 years agoThey’re like flash cards that have the different kinds of words for lojban
Gismu are like root words, and cmavo are like structure words.
For a more thorough analysis of gismu and cmavo, go here:

TurboTurbo ( @mosthated@feddit.nl ) 4•2 years agoNever heard of this. Sounds interesting!
Suppoze ( @Suppoze@beehaw.org ) 23•2 years agoVery good article, I agree with most of the points.
I also like to think that AI will never replace programmers, because for that to happen, the customer would have to give complete, correct and full requirements and specifications in plain, simple English - we know that almost never happens. Instead, you have to force the requirements out of them with pliers!
LetterboxPancake ( @LetterboxPancake@sh.itjust.works ) 2•2 years agoThat’s what I’ve been thinking. If an AI replaces me as a software engineer, I might still be needed as a translational layer. My stakeholders are a hot mess when it comes to requirements.

interolivary ( @interolivary@beehaw.org ) 9•2 years agoSort of as an aside, but my native language is Finnish and I’ve found that I tend to code in English: in my personal projects all my names etc. are in English, but the comments in Finnish. I guess it’s partially because all the other code I interface with is in English, so it just makes more sense to use the same language for identifiers so there isn’t as much of an “impedance mismatch”

jws_shadotak ( @jws_shadotak@lemmy.world ) 7•2 years agoIt’s not the fault of the language. I just suck at programming.
steph ( @steph@lemmy.clueware.org ) 5•2 years agoTry French: same written word pronounced differently depending on its meaning - that might only deduced from context, differently written words pronounced the same - and having different meaning, obviously… and there’s always poetic license if you wish to muddle things a bit more!
janeshep ( @janeshep@feddit.it ) 15•2 years agoto be honest those same quirks apply to English as well…
