      I think that I miss something mysterious about #RegEx. I know them well, I use them often and yet, when I think about WHY they are so powerful and effective while being so cryptic, I cannot find a rigorous answer. I've explained them to people several times, but I was never happy with the explanation itself: it was effective for the people involved but listening to myself I was all "how can somebody understand what I mean by listening what I say?" Now when you cannot explain a subject clearly, you ALWAYS know that you do not understand it. But HOW CAN regular expression be so effective and still so cryptic? Why we can't have readable regular expression? (and we can't) What am I missing?
