looks very interesting - coming from the perl (ie the original PCRE) it’s rather a pity that this is focused on the JVM since Java is not the most regex friendly authoring environment (sorry I do not know if other JVM denizens like Kotlin / Clojure have more natural regex syntax)

Larry Walls version 2 of PCRE is doing some interesting innovation which, while continuing the model of a character level syntax where punctuation <[.+*]> and so on are the “verbs” as the regex Sub-Language (one of the Slangs of raku), now provides deep support for unicode (eg. a digit test looks at the unicode properties, not just <[0..9]>), and can be gradually unpacked using <token> and <rule> methods all the way up to a full blown composable class based Grammar … so you can still write regex one-liners perl style but then evolve that to a small Grammar to reduce line noise and drive up code clarity

Are there any plans to provide your library on the MoarVM?
