2025-02-26 01:14:16 +0100 <mauke> backreferences existed long before perl

2025-02-26 01:13:47 +0100 <mauke> I think "perl compatible" is mostly about syntax (ok, and some features as well)
2025-02-26 01:12:50 +0100 <jackdk> Don't we call those "perl compatible"?

2025-02-26 01:07:40 +0100 <EvanR> I guess irregular expressions isn't particularly marketable

2025-02-26 01:00:57 +0100 <geekosaur> but there's some question as to whether that's actually "regex" (I think the "actually should be regular" ship sailed years ago)
2025-02-26 01:00:36 +0100 <mauke> parsec can nest
2025-02-26 01:00:25 +0100 <geekosaur> if regex is extended with "functions", see raku
2025-02-26 00:59:41 +0100 <EvanR> does it hinge on whether unlimited lookahead is regex
2025-02-26 00:59:26 +0100 <EvanR> is parsec more or less powerful than regex

2025-02-26 00:12:53 +0100 <tomsmeding> but yes, a splitting function is perhaps nicer here
2025-02-26 00:12:43 +0100 <monochrom> Although, I confess that I want 0 dependencies so I wrote my own recursion :)
2025-02-26 00:12:40 +0100 <tomsmeding> hololeap: https://paste.tomsmeding.com/QHaiHEVF
2025-02-26 00:12:12 +0100 <monochrom> You can write your own recursion over span. But the split package does that for you.
2025-02-26 00:11:39 +0100 <monochrom> Oh, the split package has tools for that too.
2025-02-26 00:11:37 +0100 <tomsmeding> if you write out that <$> <*> sequence as a do-block, it gets much more readable
2025-02-26 00:10:57 +0100 <hololeap> although I wonder if it would be more readable to just do this with span from Data.List
2025-02-26 00:10:44 +0100 <monochrom> BTW the "convenience" of regex allowing that is avenged by the fact that such high non-determinism causes exp-time or exp-space.
2025-02-26 00:10:43 +0100 <tomsmeding> monochrom: thanks, it's been too long since I parsec'd, this is also nicer to write
2025-02-26 00:10:32 +0100 <hololeap> cool, thanks :)

2025-02-26 00:10:20 +0100 <tomsmeding> hololeap: there
2025-02-26 00:10:09 +0100 <yahb2> Right [("this","that"),("black","white")]

2025-02-26 00:09:49 +0100 <monochrom> What you should really lament, if you like, is that parsec is not regex, so whereas in regex you just have to say ".*,.*", you simply can't do that in parsec.
2025-02-26 00:08:59 +0100 <tomsmeding> I guess
2025-02-26 00:08:50 +0100 <monochrom> many (satisfy (/= ',')) pretty please
2025-02-26 00:08:26 +0100 <monochrom> Yikes, abuse of lookAhead again.
