    > I wonder if this could be used to make C# webassembly more viable.

    You might enjoy reading this GitHub thread [0] where the community contributed a WASM library wrapping the C# regex code so that regex101.com could have a "C# mode". Lots of nerd sniping about reducing the payload size.

    (There's also another thread [1] discussing the minification of a rust version of that same regex101 wasm library to provide a "rust mode" using @burntsushi's regex crate.)

  • [Media] Regex101 now supports Rust!

    That’s correct, compiled to WASM. You can see all the nitty gritty here https://github.com/firasdib/Regex101/issues/1208
  • Regex101.com needs help getting a small Rust WASM binary

    Excellent comparisons. ~150KB without unicode would make Rust the smallest wasm on Regex101 as far as I can tell. pcrelib comes in at 198KB. Personally, I think ~400KB with unicode features is just fine for .wasm size. The heaviest flavor C# is around 4.91MB and was added back in February of this year. They also had a performance comparison which would also be interesting.

  • Building a syntax highlighting extension for VS Code

    As a ruby developer, I was happy to find that VS Code / TextMate grammar files use the same regular expression engine called Oniguruma as ruby itself. Thus, I could be sure that when trying my regular expressions in my favorite online regex tool, rubular.com, there would be no inconsistencies due to the engine inner workings.

    However, parsing these files requires a C library called Oniguruma to parse and execute these files. Because this library does not run in a pure JavaScript environment – which was a requirement for Monaco historically due to browser support – Monaco ships out-of-the-box with a different grammar language.
