Episode 108: New Ruby, Regex and my Framework Security Rant(tm)
Ruby 2 was just released, and the new ‘refinements’ feature presents some interesting challenges for JRuby and just about anyone wanting to read Ruby code. Â Brief chat about the regex security affecting Rails back in January, but more broadly speaking, what does this say about regex in general? Â Should we embrace it, or find better alternatives? Â Finally, I’ve got a new blog post up about web framework security – why do (almost) no web frameworks ship with security baked-in?
