ASCII hack failure of language. Even in mathematics, ! has multiple meanings like with Boolean NOT. We need a science, math, and language reformation to remove non intuitive narcissistic names, and implied contextual meanings.

You might find Lojban interesting if you are not already aware. (I haven't tried to learn it myself, I just know it exists)

If someone wants to start a Lojban pun community, I would definitely subscribe just to learn about Lojban.

Although, if no one posted in the community, I wouldn't be sure if it was a perfectly logical language or the community was just dead.

Lojban is very semantically rigid, but not perfectly logical IMO. Lojbanists often argue about the necessity of logical perfection. I suspect that puns might not be seen as culturally Lojbanic. Lojbanists hate Anglicisms or bits of English leaking into the way they speak Lojban. Regardless, making Lojbanic puns might be difficult but it's possible.
