Thanks Ben. I don't think I can agree with that assessment. I may be under-informed in this area, but I have never heard of a Javascript callback hell creating a security vulnerability like what happens with regexp regularly. I have also seen plenty of devs (myself included) mess up what should have been simple and straight forward text matching cases.
