Best regexp alternative for Go. Benchmarks. Plots.
go-pcre (1.0.0) - provides support for Perl compatible regular expressions using libpcre or libpcre++. JIT compilation is available, making this fork much faster than its counterparts. On the downside, you'll need the libpcre3-dev dependency;

GO App has very bad performance vs. NodeJS version. Seeking answers.
If you want faster performance at the cost of potentially decreased safety, look at the fast-performing go examples in the benchmark I linked which bind to `libpcre`. Like this or this.

Best regexp alternative for Go. Benchmarks. Plots.
regexp2 (1.10.0) - a feature-rich regexp engine for Go. It does not have runtime guarantees like the built-in regexp package, but is compatible with Perl5 and .NET;

Regex RE2 doesn't support specific Turkish characters.
https://github.com/dlclark/regexp2 I am going to use .NET engine until I find a workaround for stdlib :(
-
A CGo-free port of the PCRE2 regular expression library
It's also very useful if you're writing an interpreter which intends to be compatible with something that already needs PCRE support. For example, goja (a JS interpreter) uses regexp2 to support JS's regexp syntax, since JS is not limited to re2.

Converting ECMA script regex to golang
Compare https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions/Cheatsheet with https://github.com/dlclark/regexp2 - maybe github.com/dlclark/regexp2 is (almost) what you need.
