- jesselamb 16y agoI have the hardest time conveying to some clients that legal documents are more like code than prose. I'll try the analogy of a DSL with my dev clients. Thanks.
- daeken 16y agoThe analogy of a DSL isn't really an analogy -- it is a DSL. Legalese is a subset of English gramatically speaking, but the entire goal is to minimize ambiguity as much as possible. It really is a DSL.
