why is there no String.replaceLast which does the same as String.replaceFirst but for the last occurrence? We have "first/last" matching pairs for other methods.

european law prohibits replaceLast functions

i do not understand this joke (it is a joke, no?)

[Zac Sweers]

european law isn't a joke

Hey @Zac Sweers, can you explain your joke? I'm not sure we all get it, even though the irrelevancy of law regarding stdlib is already funny on its own.

Okay, so there was nothing specific regarding replaceLast?

[nkiesel]

I'm still confused whether the joke is on me (because e.g. that extension function already exists), or if function name proposed by me has a secret funny meaning, or I am just too dense to understand the joke.

@nkiesel the joke probably has no connection with your details of your question. You took it too serious
