Why is it that it’s so hard to flirt until you stop caring about it? Why is it that it’s so hard to make friends while you’re lonely? Why is it that it’s so hard to find a partner until you’re no longer desperate for one?

I’ve added parsing support to LojGloss.

Lojban is a language created by people, for people. The grammar is unambiguous—any sentence can only be interpreted in one way, grammatically. You can still have ambiguity and vagueness in meaning, just not in the grammar. My program will take any valid lojban and show you how it looks grammatically. It’ll also show you the meaning of words that it knows about. Can this much be said for any other language? No. (Unless there’s some other conlang that does this. In which case Lojban has an order of magnitude more speakers, at least.)

Update: It doesn’t work. Oops. Gismu support is borked, and I’m looking into it. In the meanwhile, 1.4 is still serviceable.
