So, Giuseppe Peano, the Italian Mathematician, had the idea of releasing most of his work in this #conlang called "Latin Sine Flexione", basically Latin but everything is at the infinitive, no genders, no conjugation.

As a sort of homage to his work, and considering he was looking for the substrate of mathematical shapes with his ideas, and I've been haphazardly following his footsteps lately with this notation project called Rejoice(REJOIRE!! no I'm kidding, it'll keep the name rejoice in LSF), I've started to write a version of the documentation for this notation in Latin Sine Flexione.

After about 3 hours, I present to you:

Rejoice es concatenative lingua de programmatione ubi dato es codificato ut sacco que compone per multiplicatione. Stato de programma es "sacco" de re non-ordinate. Per exemplo, strix/[felis^2] significa: consumere duo felis, addere uno strix.

Strix is owl, and felis is cat, btw. I don't really know how I'd write multiset, so I am just leaning into the bag thing.

I'm adding it to my list, where Armenian stenography and Interslavic already reside. Any resources besides Latin textbooks you can recommend?

@aartaka I've borrowed almost everything from this: wikisource.org/wiki/100_exempl…
And made up the words I couldn't find on stardict, it might not be the most accurate use of LSF, and it will make flinch anyone who actually reads Latin.

i understood it ^^

bag is the perfect metaphor imo, even in english. i don't think multiset is nearly as good ("multiset" always has me wondering about things like infinite cardinality, since that's a big "set" thing).

Several years ago I could possibly understand this (beyond the congates into english). Three years of latin mostly cause I wanted to write it in my art.

I do not miss all those tables. reciting hic haec hoc :stacky_oof:

Tho, I was kinda the best in my class cause I idly wrote in latin in my spare time. Didn't have time to keep up with it nor had any one to share it with

I had to make up a bunch of neologisms or pick old words and give them new meaning. I didn't like insigna or titro and another of the other words for a "label", as in assembly languages. I'll justify every strange word I picked in the html comments X)

I just realized, everyone who will come across this will just think it's lorem ipsum D:

Fun to create a sort of internal vocabulary for these things. An earlier version of one of my projects called a lot of things “templates” and then later those got sort of internally phased out, so now I have “trusses” everywhere and I don’t know if that’s really using the word correctly but it feels nice.

I've decided to really lean into this project X)

as a person who once wrote documentation for a Forth derivative in the "e-prime" subset of English, I absolutely love that you've done this. Your posts are like artifacts from a nearby but unfamiliar parallel universe.
in reply to cliffle

@cliffle Oh wow! E-prime, haven't thought about this in a while. Do you still have this around somewhere?

So instead of is-odd? what did you use?

@neauoire "multus coniunctus"?

in reply to Humberto Ortiz Zuazaga

@azul the problem is that Peano would have hated that, he picked always super short words to mean things. I picked Fine for Done, based on on his book.
