Why lawyers should not design programming languages.
</title>

Good programmers are writing clear code. The goal 
of programmer is to write down complex  constructions 
in simple form to make it easy for  other people to 
understand those constructions.

Good lawyers are writing complex documents. The 
goal of lawyer is to write down simple constructions
in complex form to make it hard for  other people to
understand those constructions.
