Different from Loglan and Lojban, the constructed languages (conlangs). Comparison between those: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_between_Lojban_and_Loglan https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_between_Lojban_an... Interestingly, Wikipedia does not have an article on Loglan '82: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?go=Go&search=Loglan+82&ns0=1 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?go=Go&search=...

  Here is the original Loglan story. http://www.loglan.org http://www.loglan.org The same guy also founded an Artisan's Guild that is still running today. H was full of utopian ideals. https://www.artisansguildgallery.com/history.html https://www.artisansguildgallery.com/history.html

  I noticed the lack of Wikipedia too! There is an article in Polish: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loglan_82 https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loglan_82

I wish the information was more accessible/current. The SourceForge stuff dates back to 2016, and the website linked here may as well have been written in the 90s. Are there any modern takes on this? Anyone still using it?

  Found this page from Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw that mentions a research program called LEM based on LogLan’82, but can’t quite understand when it was launched or if still active. https://lem12.uksw.edu.pl/wiki/Main_page https://lem12.uksw.edu.pl/wiki/Main_page https://lem12.uksw.edu.pl/images/3/3d/LeafletLoglan.pdf https://lem12.uksw.edu.pl/images/3/3d/LeafletLoglan.pdf

  If I was in your shoes... I would set-up a website that catalogs all the sources that you are aware of. The goal is to attract all the other people that are curious into a focused community. I was really young; starting to become verbal when I first met Jim Brown. I have sort of known about LogLan all my life and it rarely ever comes up. 2 weeks ago I met a young 20 something that was extremely frustrated with the chaos of the English language. I sent him a link to the Loglan.org page. He had already found that page and like you wanted more. I obviously was surprised to see Loglan mentioned anywhere within such a short time frame. I think the time is right to catalog this subject on the internet to attract the like minded.

Interesting features and a more modern look than e.g. MODULA-2 (which for some reasons made its way back into gcc), but then there are just sooo many programming languages ... This 'prefixing' of classes is what we know today as deriving?
