Well, I don't actually discard languages. I mean, I don't ever delete anything.
You never know when you're going to discover something valuable. Even so, if
I stop working on a language, I don't feel like it's discarding it -- it often
happens at the first stages of the creation process. I'm very cyclotimic and
sometimes I lose interest in things I just made, or perhaps I realize it's not
going to work and develop into the marvelous structure I'd made up in my mind,
so I leave it. But I never delete it -- and that's why my hard drives are full
of trash :) I had "discarded" Pantato in my mind a few months ago, but now I
consider it alive again -- I only have to go check and correct about 400 words!
