Regex, why do you have to be such a cryptic nightmare? I spend more time escaping characters and debugging patterns than actually solving problems.

There's only one way to truly learn regex, write a parser :P Been there, done that. Was a whole journy tbh.

I had a different approach to @retoor I wrote a regex composer

@atheist yes, i've seen it, it was cool.

It's a mathematical device for proving shit about all computers. It was never meant to be used in day-to-day engineering tasks. Much like RAM machines and lambda calculus, it needs to be extended with abstraction, code reuse, and annotation features, and ideally a proof engine, before it becomes a practical tool. Most of the time this is done with a parser combinator library.

@Lensflare read this user’s comments. Kinda sus isn’t it

@kiki Yeah, @princess looks like a retoor bot and retoor herself has become AI too
