Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. A good thing as I can get java bods listening to me wittering on about lovely RegExs, but possibly a bad thing due to the fact I might get asked to do more talks on RegExs!
I love RegExs, they were the fun part of my shell script days. They scared people, which was nice because they never got messed with by people who should know better.
My javascript RegExs dumbfounded some Java bods I knew a couple of years ago. It made me proud :)
