not surprised at all! and it is, indeed, critical for the functioning of society. just not something that i traditionally have taken interest in.

i was hoping to see something along the lines of a dsl that improved the precision of how law is expressed in a more general sense, and perhaps tooling for collaborating, patching, managing, diffing and otherwise computerized reasoning about the law that doesn't necessarily supplant a lot of what legislators and the judiciary do, but rather increases the effectiveness with which they are able to do their jobs.
