Interesting, regexps are indeed made with a very dense and obscure syntax, I could see a kind of DSL being useful. What do you think?

I’m intrigued. Even just like a shell with this to dump out to different language would be really handy.

Regex is so dense it’s hard to memorize, the differences between languages don’t do it any favors either.

This is awesome! I didn't know I needed this tbh, and love that it's written in rust 🦀
