Replace regex with ProgramAsWeights: one-liner email validation
yuntiandeng · x · 2026-08-06
Developer yuntiandeng shares an example of using the ProgramAsWeights library to replace regex:
python
import programasweights as paw
fn = paw.compileandload("check whether a string looks like a valid email address")
fn("[email protected]") "valid"
fn("abc@def") "invalid"
The library compiles natural language descriptions into executable functions, simplifying pattern matching tasks.
