Perl 6 style regular expressions

ruby-talk
1

I was wondering if anyone has done any work on implementing Perl 6 style
regular expressions.

Looking at the design docs at
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/06/04/apo5.html it looks like they’ve got
some useful features.

At the very least it’d probably make an interesting project.

Best Regards

Not that I know of, more than the one for Perl6 perhaps :wink:
If anyone is, I’d also like to know
At the very least it’d probably make an interesting project.
I’m planning to do something similar to this.
It seems very useful,

I’ve been reading the apocalypse and exegesis on this, and it mostly seems
like good ideas, and might not be a bad thing to support as an extension in
Ruby (although I wouldn’t call them REs, per Damion’s exegesis).
