I disagree. Anyone familiar with regex can debug these statements post conversion. Anyone not familiar with regex is going to have to learn something in order to debug the statement. I’d rather learn something that’s expressive and easy to visually parse.
regex syntax is a vestige of the old “as few bytes as possible” era where every character of code had to be written personally. It’s an obsolete way of thinking for the vast majority of programming.
