These days, it is hard to find a job where there are no superiors that knows nothing about tech and still asks you to code nonsense with a language.
Always has been.

One day, I was asked to change the color of a button on my company's site... But I am a backend developer, I said so to my manager and they answered : "Then Use JVM!" Yes, JVM, not Java.

PS: Sorry for bad english.

Hmm, why it's not called JSVM tbh? ESVM also possible.

How's your game engine doing, I left some comments under your project but you didn't react. I feel ignored like the guys in porn

@retoor thanks for the review, I saw your comment now.

Then use regex! Backend devs know regex!

@Lensflare real devs build their own regex. I have one flaw left in mine but besides that it's full featured. Mine is completely self designed and uses validation function chaining with a function in between that decides what validation function is next to apply. Loops are done by setting the interpreter to non greedy, moving cursor to previous token ([aaa] -> [ is remembered as previous token when executed, not a, so [aaa]* works) and executing it inside the function one by one until the right side of the function matches. The right validation is the complete expression what's left over since it advances every time when a validation function is valid. This would mean validating "cccc" with `[abc]*cc`. Is 7 checks, 9 functions, 14 including the inbetween chain function. Advanced ones can be 700+.

I later went searching online how other people do it but nearly all examples don't cover the hard parts. Writing a full featured regex is a huge challenge. It's a full language without vars
