language lawyer
|
|
|
|
n. A person, usually an experienced or senior software engineer, who is
|
|
intimately familiar with many or most of the numerous restrictions and
|
|
features (both useful and esoteric) applicable to one or more computer
|
|
programming languages. A language lawyer is distinguished by the ability to
|
|
show you the five sentences scattered through a 200-plus-page manual that
|
|
together imply the answer to your question if only you had thought to look
|
|
there. Compare wizard , legal , legalese.
