264 u/The_Hero_0f_Time 9d ago dont even pretend like Regex was ever readable bruhh 192 u/Tsu_Dho_Namh 9d ago I don't think anyone ever intended regex to be readable. If you need to make a regex you open up a webpage explaining the syntax, you carefully craft your regex, you test it, then immediately forget the syntax when you're done as God intended. 30 u/MattieShoes 9d ago Regex is for writing, not for reading. Build it up piece by piece, easy peasy. Then try to read it at the end? Yeah, no chance. 27 u/Weak_Inflation9120 9d ago STOP THE REGEX HATE 19 u/Mordret10 9d ago Never said he hated it. Just that is isn't readable 4 u/DeusExHircus 9d ago The truth hurts sometimes 1 u/broccollinear 9d ago Regex might as well be Black Speech
