    > 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.)

    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.
