This is fun, but it feels suspiciously close to my old presentation about the exact same thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxX81WmXjPg https://www.youtube

Same guy made https://jsdate.wtf https://jsdate.wtf, also posted to HN, and also containing material from someone else's talk I'm pretty sure. Edit: I was wrong!

  Similar to this I got my examples for jsdate.wtf through reading the v8 date parsing code and experimentation. Wasn’t aware there was a talk with similar examples for JS dates, would be interested to see it.

    My bad, I was thinking about a much older talk[1], maybe something about the theme activated the same neurons. Sorry for making an accusation like that for what turns out was no reason. [1]https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat

      It’s okay <3 it doesn’t surprise me that both of these topics have been covered before, and both are fairly small input spaces so there’s bound to be similarities or overlap. I do love Gary’s “wat” talk, it was certainly part of the inspiration to make these.

Coincidence. I hadn’t seen this. I got my examples mostly from looking through https://github.com/jackbearheart/email-addresses/blob/master/test/tests.json https://github.com/jackbearheart/email-addresses/blob/master... and reading the EBNF in RFC 5322. Will watch your video!

  Your talk is a lot better than my quiz. Interestingly you say comments aren’t valid in the middle of the local part but I thought they are, and the parser I used agreed. Maybe obsolete behaviour? I didn’t realise quotes could be dot separated but it makes sense now I look back over the EBNF! That’s really cool. Sorry I made you think I’d stolen your content, I can totally see why you’d think that. I promise you that was the first time I watched that video.
