Proper reasoning is always needed if you want a guarantee.

You formally verify your regexes? Doubtful.

Does that imply anything at all in LLMs’ favour?

Yes it suggest lower cognitive load.

Great, but I wouldn't be shouting from the rooftops how Wayland has created a better experience for users just yet.

Ok I can see you haven't actually come across any complex regexes yet...

(Which is probably a good thing tbh - if you're writing complex regexes you're doing it wrong.)

I work in RISC-V CPU development and I'd say 5-10 years is about right for when we'll see usable RISC-V desktop class machines.

There isn't really any RVA22 hardware you'd really want to run a desktop on anyway, so it's a very logical decision. RVA23 is a much more sensible base - it requires Vector and Hypervisor.

This is stupid pedantry. By that logic literally nothing is complex because everything is made up of simple parts.

You don't have to. You can read it.

Regexes aren’t hard to write, their logic is quite simple.

He did say complex regex. A complex regex is not simple.

Why? That is a great use for AI. I'm guessing you are imagining that people are just blindly asking for unit tests and not even reading the results? Obviously don't do that.

i just said it’s supposed to be used as a high-level glue to hold low-level things together.

Exactly. You essentially said it's ok for Python to be slow because it's supposed to only be used to tie together things written in fast languages. That's utter bullshit. It was never designed with that intent, it's just that it turns out people do use it like that because it's so slow.
