Would this be a 'first'? (order-containing 'code')

Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, June 02 2012 @ 05:06 PM EDT

A court order containing a realistic fragment of code in a
real programming language, written and explained by the judge
himself?

It feels like this was done mainly to do some 'Groktech'
groundwork for the appeals court. I'll assume the code
fragment was not included to educate either Google or Oracle
in the noble art of writing programs.

So: the judge presumably thought the appeals court could 'do
with' some example code to make it understand 'the point' of
his ruling.

I wonder if there are more judges 'in the wild' who can write
programs. Would be wonderful if there are, but -from the
above- I fear a 'coding judge' must be a rare species.
