Esperanto has actually been criticized for being half baked. There’s this whole website on the subject from a respected expert. In particular it’s really eurocentric.

I assume you mean http://jbr.me.uk/ranto/

[Rerarom]

All rants on Esperanto fall into these two categories:

- see, the language is not that simple as you think, it has this complexity you haven't thought of, so it fails

- the language is as simple as you think, but no one would ever speak like that, the real world is more complex, so it fails

Sometimes those two get mixed up in the same sentence.

Rants about Esperanto aren't terribly different from the similar rants one finds about programming languages -- that Go, or Java, or Rust are poorly designed according to whatever criterion the author thinks a language should have. People can agree or disagree with them, but there isn't really an objective way to validate taste in languages whether human or programming.
