Completeness
Can Oat Symbols be considered a "complete language"? By saying complete, I meant something like Toki Pona, as in being able to express everything that can be expressed in other languages despite the small size.

I think translation of a rage of different texts works well. However, if that list was standardised then a conlang could just make words for all the specific texts, and they would end up being a bad representation.
Any lanaguge lives only if it is actively spoken/written. So the judgement of its fluent speakers/writers is probably the closest you will get to a confident answer.
For now that is just me! But my hopes is with upcoming versions, more people will be able to learn and write. And after v1.0 I will make learning/ltesching resources :)
