I am quite interested, but a bit sceptic. On the one side, it would be great to have a language which you can learn in a couple of weeks due to its simplicity and small vocabulary. On the other side, as a programmer I immediately get the notion, that a large vocabulary might just get replaced by more complex expressions. This is basically a mathematical necessity. And it is something which we can observe in real life anyway. Whenever you have a situation, where people try to say something in a language where they lack the vocabulary, but also when the language lacks the specific term for a new thing, one will use compund expressions. Some will stay, others will gradually be replaced by a specific term. Also, I find it highly interesting how groups of people will evolve branches of languages, in the large usually called dialects. But also in the small, like with any customs and styles, local variants are developed. Seems to be a very fundamental human trait. That can be an age-dependent variation - most age groups have their version of a language, and also culturally. Like certain groups of immigrants picking up their style of the local language. And on the big scale, look at English, which seems to be the closest to an universally spoken language so far. There are quite some flavors depending on which continent it is spoken on.
