@profoundlynerdy I don’t know anything about #Rakudo’s internals, but Is there any conceivable way for a language-neutral subset of #RakuLang #regexes to be based on or share its code rather than reimplement them?
The subset might omit things like code interpolation. Or is it all-or-nothing?
It would be a nice teaser for the full power of Raku grammars, kind of like how #iTunes for Windows was #SteveJobs’ offer of “a glass of water to somebody in hell.” https://a.co/5J0CTSL

714 followers · 4949 posts · Server social.sdf.org@profoundlynerdy I don’t think other languages *have* “ripped off” #RakuLang #regexes and grammars. The point of a notional “RCRE” library would be to enable that.

https://metacpan.org/pod/Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitMatchVars already protects you against the performance-sapping $`, $&, and $' match variables
And you can configure your own prohibited list with https://metacpan.org/pod/Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitEvilVariables

Both #PHP and #JavaScript also support named capture groups if you’re doing replacements. They’re a lot more readable.
Also, PHP’s #PCRE-based engine has a PCRE_EXTENDED flag that lets you add whitespace, newlines, and comments.

416 followers · 1569 posts · Server social.sdf.org@sjn @cb 99% of the “#Perl is line noise” complaints are because of unformatted #RegularExpressions. Every language worth anything eventually supports them, but only @Perl (and #awk, earlier) makes them first-class citizens. And with Perl you can format and comment them for readability: https://perldoc.perl.org/perlretut#Embedding-comments-and-modifiers-in-a-regular-expression
We format the rest of our code for humans. Why not #regexps?
#PerlCritic can warn against bad regexps: https://metacpan.org/search?size=200&q=module%3APerl%3A%3ACritic%3A%3APolicy%3A%3ARegularExpressions

86 followers · 418 posts · Server frontrange.coShot in the dark, mastocrew - I keep trying to get used to #bbedit but there is one killer feature in #sublimetext which it just doesn't seem to have.
"Quick Add Text", or Command-D (Mac), Ctrl-D (Linux) is just the best.
Does anyone know how to activate something like this in #bbedit ?
Yes, #vim has all I could need with sub #regexes; this is for a different use case.
And to round out the hashtags, I've never launched #emacs
