IP Addresses in Lojban

[Jacob Errington]

coi

I don't see why numbers couldn't do this:

e.g. li pareze pi'e no pi'e no pi'e pa

Indicating a port could be done with {pi}:

e.g. li pareze pi'e no pi'e no pi'e pa pi bino

Also, in the same way that denpa bu colloquially refers to the dot, how about we let diklo bu refer to localhost?

If so, we can attach a port to a non-number sumti referring to a URL like this:

{li pi bino pe diklo bu}

Otherwise, we can use a moi-based approach like this:

{.i lo bino moi co me diklo bu moi} would probably convey the right meaning, given that the listener knows what diklo bu refers to.

Thoughts?

Your way of expressing IPv4 addresses is good. For IPv6 I'd use e.g. "rexanoze
ki'o vaibifeino ki'o vononore ki'o gainoci ki'oki'o xavo pi muno". I'm not
sure how to indicate that the port number is 0050 and not 50 (which could be
taken as 5000, i.e. 20480). Maybe "ce'o" is better to separate the port
number.

Localhost isn't a letter, and I don't know what letter or other character
"diklo bu" could mean. I'd say "lo binomoi be lo kloskami".

What's wrong with {li diklo bu pi bi no}?

This makes me rethink {pi} for ports entirely. I think that ce'o is possibly a better solution.

Right. I think my comparison was bad. I mean for {diklo bu} to act as a variable holding the value of localhost in the same way that for my purposes, {du bu} refers to {lo ka ce'u du makau} (the lojban identity function).

That's actually a pretty interesting and concise solution. I like it a lot.
