Regex lets us find anything, check for patterns, format accurately — and drives us crazy with anxiety and deepest discomfort. Regex stands for regular expressions, and my fave regex editor for Python is Pythex (I could not possibly write regex without it).
But there’s hope for the future! Check out Rosie and the Rosie Pattern Language (RPL) for Python!
I watched this video (the whole thing) and it just made me feel so happy. Oh, and Rosie works with other languages too!
This post will help me remember “What was that thing I heard about that can replace regex?” when I need to.
