@kellerfuchs @CobaltVelvet I enjoy complaining about how much better regular expressions could be if they were composable, ie http://synthcode.com/scheme/irregex/ (see also http://www.more-magic.net/posts/lispy-dsl-sre.html and for why regexes aren't composable (read "stringly typed systems") see http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/gjs/6.945/psets/ps01/ )
