Legalese exists precisely because it is an attempt to remove doubt when it comes to matters of law.
Maybe a dialect of legalese will emerge for software engineering?
- ruszki 7mo agoLegalese is nowhere near precise, and we have a whole very expensive system because it’s not precise.
- petcat 7mo agoIt is an attempt the be precise, and to remove doubt. But you're right that doubt still creeps in.
- datsci_est_2015 7mo agoDoubt still creeps in? The entire purpose of the Judiciary branch across all governments that possess one is the interpretation of legal documents. It’s one of the greatest sources of uncertainty in human governance.
- batshit_beaver 7mo agoLegalese already exists in software engineering. Several dialects of it, in fact. We call them programming languages.
