WHAT? regex is the absolute business (assuming it's the right tool for the job).

I'm pretty sure it was made by an autistic person.
Who the hell thought that something that looks like this...

^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$

... would code validation for an email address? How the fuck is that readable by a non autistic?

Here is how I would write that in a readable way
{::Any::}@{::Any::}.{::Any:2-4:}

I'm not really going to argue very much ...
... but as something tends towards being very specific (and your example is a little ambiguous, right - what's an "Any" for example) so it gets more and more mad.

Some of it looks like line noise, I'll totally agree though. Ctrl-Alt-Palm, and there you go, instant regex ...
