Regular Expressions are about the only area of computing where I know what I am doing.
More recently I realised a lot of TW uses Regular Expressions in its interior regions to define parts of its own re-making of itself. That's helpful for me to know.
There is a slight oddity in that Regular Expressions, though usable in TW at its surface, are somewhat more baroque than just learning the JS variant of them.
