Nice post. Came up near the top of the search results for “Who invented regular expressions”. Loved reading the comments, they made me laugh. Thanks.

Thanks for the list.
Now I know whom to hate!
I pray I will meet one of the persons in this list face to face one day. Regexp are the worst thing in the world. For me every person listed here is a demon from hell. May they burn there!
