  • While still being way slower than anything else.
  • In combination with it's "clean" syntax, deceptively at the first glance kinda similar to another, older and well known language, this is bound to lead to impossible to decipher code.
  • While being an overkill most of the time and another ad hoc change from things people know, but with \d still matching insanely way too much.
  • Yeah, that's nice. If done right.
