Interesting point about POSIX RegEx syntax. I hadn't thought of it in that way. You might have persuaded me to use its classes more often. (But alas, only widely deployed in Java--especially useful in Android--but def not Perl). But for real, neatest RegEx tool is branch reset capture groups. For real, play with it! [RedirectMatch 307 (?i)^/(?|(p)rofile|(c)on..ct)\W(\S+) /$1/$2]

And was your "F" rating of C# a subconscious slip? (As in F**** Microsoft's basterized C)?

Haha I actually have a lot of respect for C# as a language, but I've personally not written in it.

The grades were my own personal proficiency in the top languages. They're grades I gave myself; not the language itself.
