Yeah, right, so why do I still have to escape regex metacharacters in Java in 2021? That's just so 1988.

You don't have to, java support raw strings. But yeah Kotlin is far superior, denying it is only proof of partial knowledge/ignorance.

Raw strings don't apply to regexen. You still have to escape the metacharacaters.
