Just saw PDFs for Damien Conway’s “Perl Best Practices.” I tech reviewed the regex chapter and was thrilled to see the extended white space option list as best practice #1.
It’s really amazing to me that people that care about indentation and commenting when writing very readable languages like Python or Java can stand to see a completely unreadable language like regular expressions written without any whitespace or any comments. Shouldn’t this offend the sensibilities of just about any programmer?
