Python's Hidden Regular Expression Gems (2015)
&gt; <i>[Python&#x27;s implementation of regular expressions is] one of the best of all dynamic languages I would argue</i><p>This sounds dishonest to me; it&#x27;s deliberately couching the claim with a qualification (&quot;imo&quot;) and disqualifying the &#x27;dynamic&#x27; languages with better regex support (Perl, Ruby, JavaScript). The counter-claim is already prepared as a &quot;No true Scotsman&quot; argument: these other languages aren&#x27;t as good because they don&#x27;t have a scanner built into the regex language.<p>I also don&#x27;t understand why the author needs to qualify the claim on dynamic&#x2F;non-dynamic grounds. Can someone please help me understand?
