hot take: regex is fine, actually, and most of the jokes about it being a problem are just Regex Strings Look Scary disguised as technical complaints.
super spicy take: shipping source, build systems, and containers (especially for ephemeral uses) instead of just shipping a compiled binary is a waste of electricity and arguments for the containerised delivery approach are not very compelling in practice unless you work for a cloud vendor.
@gsuberland Containers are an indication that we've failed miserably at the, yes, _genuinely difficult_ problem of code sharing/coexisting.
But honestly, pretending applications don't have to share is one reason virtual memory exists, and there are dark thoughts down that path of "don't lie to program". So it;s impossible to say if it's bad or not.
