On: Rulex – A new, portable, regular expression langua...

[SonOfLilit]

Working with a company that writes hundreds of regexes per day, I can say with confidence: regex syntax is _not_ fine. People with lots of experience make obvious mistakes and lose them in the line noise all the time.

What could the job possibly be? Based on next to nothing, sounds like you might be better off building custom parsers?

[chrisshroba → donatj]

I'd guess any large tech company on average is writing at least hundreds per day, given the crazy amounts of code being produced.

Do you use the /x modifier?

The regexes are very simple, there's just thousands of them. /x wouldn't help much.
