| 20:52 | <ljharb> | bakkot_: thanks, devsnek pinged me about it last week and it's mentioned in an issue on the repo already :-) i'll add it to the readme at some point |
| 20:52 | <bakkot_> | ah, good good |
| 20:53 | <devsnek> | just copy paste it into the spec text proposal done ez |

| 20:56 | <rkirsling> | wao |
| 21:12 | <rickbutton> | :%s/Python/ECMAScript/g problem solved |
| 21:17 | <rkirsling> | oughtta call ECMAScript proposals ESPs since they're like peeking into the future |
| 21:17 | <rkirsling> | oops not tdz |
| 22:11 | <devsnek> | is this valid `/(?<foo>.)[\k]\k<foo>/` |
| 22:11 | <devsnek> | https://github.com/acornjs/acorn/issues/927 |
| 22:25 | <bakkot_> | devsnek: https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/issues/2037 |
| 22:25 | <bakkot_> | tl;dr is no per spec, yes per the shipping implementations |
| 22:30 | <devsnek> | neat |
| 22:30 | <devsnek> | i don't even know what \k does |
| 22:31 | <devsnek> | oh wow \k is cool |
| 22:41 | <rkirsling> | I think you mean it's "kool" 😎 |
| 23:02 | <TabAtkins> | Oh phew, the intention of that regex is to match any char, then a "\" or "k", then the first character again? |
| 23:07 | <rkirsling> | but \ inside [] needs escaping, right? |
| 23:07 | <rkirsling> | so [\k] would at best be [k], no? |
| 23:07 | <rkirsling> | yeah https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/issues/2037#issuecomment-641602774 |
| 23:08 | <bakkot_> | I don't think that regex can be said to have an intention behind it |
| 23:08 | <bakkot_> | except to exercise an edge case |
