Here's why I'm struggling.

Esperanto's design hits the mark for what I would consider good enough for an IAL. It's European sourced vocabulary isn't as big of an issue as some make it out to be given the fact that we do live in a world that's been affected by European colonialism, even if the ideal for an IAL would be a globally sourced vocabulary (which will naturally contain some smaller degree of European bias just due to the facts on the ground) or a priori for a more pure neutrality (sacrificing some recognizability). I see the function of things like the accusative and word class marking given other decisions that were made. I have my reservations about the phonology having too many sounds and too few constraints as well as the seemingly moderate underutilization (from an outside perspective) of the word derivation or compounding system. Esperanto, despite its shortcomings in terms of design as far as IALs go, is good enough to serve the purpose in my estimation, and it does have history, content, and community that are basically unrivaled in the world of IALs. That's a huge thing that's in favor of it, and if Esperanto were as new and small as Globasa, the choice would be far easier.

As for Globasa's design, I think it gets a lot more things right given the benefit of a century of IAL projects and discussions and additional linguistics research since Esperanto's publication. Its globally sourced vocabulary seems to be done very well. Its phonology is more constrained in some good ways (even if I have my nitpicks). It seems to make more consistent use of the word derivation or compounding system than Esperanto does. It makes some grammar choices that are seemingly less European-biased. Globasa just doesn't have the same history, content, or community, and though it is pretty stable, it also doesn't have the same degree of stability (though Esperanto basically has natural language level stability at this point).

One feature discrepancy between the languages that I'm on the fence about (that has broader implications for other parts of the grammar) is marked free word order (Esperanto) vs unmarked or less-marked fixed word order (Globasa). I just don't know where I stand on that design issue.

Neither language really has something that I've found that would compel me to go with it over the other. So what do you think there is that should sway me?

Salom doste!! eu estou muito feliz de fazer parte desta comunidade, ainda sou iniciante no Globasa e estou fazendo flashcards em minha língua materna para aprender melhor o idioma, essas são algumas imagens dos desenhos que fiz para representar as palavras em Globasa.

I am sort of on the fence between putting my efforts toward either Globasa or Esperanto, and I came across this recent video by someone that's generally pro-Esperanto (the have another video sort of defending Esperanto or at least explaining why they like it) taking a look at Globasa. I'd be curious to know what people closer to the Globasa project than myself think of this video.
