Esperanto is definitely a failure in its goals, which included replacing English —- it is not a rapidly growing communications medium. I think you may have gotten my point backward - I love the creation of new words that English affords; it’s the best part of the language. Glish is removing words for “simplicity” — IMO this is bad because blind removal is losing information that has been proven to be valuable over the course of the evolution of the language, like many of Shakespeare’s invented words. And tens of thousands of our borrowed words. Glish is also cool because it’s using somewhat modern technology to mess with semantics, but taken as a serious endeavor, I hate the direction it’s going. Like I said in my comment, taken as a sweet hack, I like it. Overall you would not find me hating on something that was adding interesting new words to English - it’s the technocratic removal I object to. If there were a project that was finding maximally far apart spaces in word2vec embedding space and trying to name them based on definitions from the surrounding words, I would love it.
