gollark: Because bigger numbers → more better.
gollark: It's something like 8 characters, and does a clever thing to match any number (in unary) with factors other than 1 and itself. It also probably makes regex engines suffer horribly.
gollark: You can implement a primality checker quite easily with backreferences or something.
gollark: Probably not with strictly regular regular expressions, possibly with the extended ones everyone uses.
gollark: I'd say it's more that most mainstream languages use basically the same set of approved concepts.
