Once it became the interlanguage, it start evolving very rapidly as
new technical terms were added.  It has a huge vocabulary compared
with many other languages.  That helps keep it as the interlanguage.

It also likes to be specific.  Not leaving much up to interpretation
is great for science and business but not so great for Zen poetry.

One of the most fascinating books I ever read was Steven Pinker's The
Language Instinct: how the mind creates language, about how languages
evolve.
http://mindprod.com/book/9780060958336.html

One of the things I think about every once in a while is what would be
the characteristics of a ideal interlanguage. I explored Esperanto. It
has had lots of time to catch on, but has not.  I explore why in my
essay on it.  http://mindprod.com/esperanto/esperanto.html

I am also interested in how you might use teams of computer
programmers who do not all speak English.  I envisage some SCIDs that
greatly tighten up the ability of programmers to track what others are
doing and to decouple how the program is displayed from how it is
stored.
