I made it halfway through, a decade back. It's not usable for practical communication, but it's an interesting experiment in linguistically forcing a Zen mindset. For instance, "telo nasa" is alcohol, but it literally means "crazy water." "pona" means good, simple and beautiful, while "ike" means bad, evil, complex and ugly. There are no numbers besides 1 and 2, and no ways to embed clauses. Translating into Toki Pona is like describing the world to a 5-year old feral child. I recommend it.
