morning

making sure I can go on holiday...

so handing over everything...

I only have 1,5 days left of holiday. Already kind of preparing with some java reactive spring boot. The mix of functional with object oriented can be confusing, clojure feels a lot simpler.

Preparing for hackathon session for a client

@gklijs yup, I tend to agree...

New client is on AWS so maybe in time I can do some Clojure with Datomic Ions. But not very likely.

I’m transforming things like "Stefano Cascinu, MProfessor" to [["Stefano"] ["Cascinu"]], "DrCKSwann ramani" to [["C" "K" "Swann"] ["ramani"]] and "Prof Prof Dr. med. George Niklaus Thalmann" to [["George" "Niklaus"] ["Thalmann"]]

and there are only 400k of them

I have no idea why anyone would fill in QRPE Proc.+Syst.Coord.-Clin.Trial Iin an author field

sounds like you are having fun @borkdude!

😄

So you are writing parser-combinators 😛

I almost went for it, but then my regex still worked 😉

named groups are pretty helpful

Parser combinators make sense if there is a real grammar. This is just a bunch of crap.

I guess there's no parser that can't be replaced with regex. Except HTML parser 😁
