Cudder is a hypocrite

How can a man woman hate bison/yacc when he she likes regex?

Name: Anonymous 2016-05-11 20:49

I don't care. I just want to cum inside her.

That's like saying, "How can someone hate Microsoft when they like computers?" You can like an idea while not liking certain implementations of it.

Regexp is just a string encoding of a finite state automata and you write it yourself for whatever problem you are trying to solve. Parser generators generate push down automata capable of general purpose computation until they run out of memory, usually in complex and incomprehensible ways. Then they're that pesky incompleteness theory that rises its ugly, throbbing cock where ever grammars are around.

Do you have a better syntax for specifying textual patterns?

a finite state automata
a finite state automaton

"automata" is plural.

I don't, but this doesn't mean that regex is good. it just means it's slightly less shit than other shit ways of doing that

You cudderfuckers need to stop conflating "compact representation" with "good". It isn't.

I think anyone could beat that symbol diarrhea.

Anyone but you probably.

I wish you were, too, so there's more of a chance of killing the both of you with a single grenade.

getting killed by a grenade is totally worth it if I get to fuck Cudder desu

Yes

Because of this:

Bloatson/yucck are absolute monsters in comparison.

Nobody mentioned performance, you dickhead. Regexp are shitty abstractions with nonsensical limitations, and the state machine optimizations can be applied to any text search.

limitations aside, they're cryptic as fuck unless you're really used to them. inb4 get used to them - you could get used to reading brainfuck or intercal code but why would you do such thing?

Because it's incredibly useful.

Can you suggest a less cryptic syntax to express the same patterns?

Name: Anonymous 2016-05-13 17:15

just because I can't invent something better doesn't mean it isn't shit. honestly, if I had to process text strings (I don't, fortunately) I'd rather do the verbose thing and iterate through them

It does in this case. Besides a regexp string representing the graph, there is really only drawing a graph itself, which would have to be represented somehow.

I'd rather do the verbose thing and iterate through them
That's going to end up being even more cryptic and a bigger waste of time. What are you going to do when you want to input the pattern you need to search from the user or something? Are you going to invent some representation of the effects of iteration and interpret it? Congradulations, you've reinvented regexp.
