> Are there any attempts to create a new language using all the best features of historical languages? like how programming languages take the good features from one another? Unlike programming languages, natural languages are really, really complicated. The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language, one of the most comprehensive treatise on the grammar of English (and probably one of the most comprehensive work on any human language), runs 1700+ pages, and that's considering mostly just syntax. Imagine: a native English speaker keeps most of the rules explained in this book in their head. So, I believe any attempt to "create a new language using the best features" will either (1) fail, or (2) end up being accidentally successful, where the speakers of the new language will pile additional layers of complication by simply using the language in the same way we use any human language. IANAL, so read it with a grain of salt.
