Like, Judge #WilliamAlsup famously learned #Java to better rule on #GoogleVOracle. And that was probably pretty hard to do.

But that's just one case! I don't know if that would help him going forward on, say, a case about end-to-end encryption backdoors. You'd have to spend the same amount of effort learning secrets management or networked systems.

So what is the marginal benefit of learning just a little code? I'm not sure.

Great news! The US Supreme Court ruled in favour of #FreeSoftware and re-implementations of APIs in the #GooglevOracle case. The whole case took around 10 years. Even better: not only ruled the court for this specific API but generally! (well, IANAL...)

Could #octave get sued out of existence if the whole #googleVoracle thing breaks in #oracle's favor?
