“Three Little Words” – Damian Conway
- db48x 5y agoIn which our hero presents a Perl 5 regex for parsing Perl 5 (and yes, it parses Perl 5 regexes correctly). I haven’t used Perl in ages, but I discovered this recently and really enjoyed it. I have used Lisp frequently and so I know the power of macros. It is really nice to see other languages gain the same useful power, and it’s also inspiring to see the heroic efforts that it sometimes requires.
