Those are rookie numbers. Professionals came up with the nested logic monstrosity that is the JSON-LD specification:

https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld11-api/#context-processing-algorithm

Looks through the algorithm bits in the various sections. How would you implement that? The answer is invariably by copying the highly nested statements of the spec directly into your language. Maybe there's a better way, but you'd have to understand all that nested logic first, and you'd be exhausted at that point and just want to move on.
