Yeah, we all know what you're good for...
just use Melody

I've created a Python module for constructing Regex patterns in a more computer programming-familiar way, so you don't have to re-learn Regex each time you use it!
How do you feel about projects such as melody?

Why does it have to be like this?
I found this beauty a while ago

Melody - A readable language that compiles to regular expressions, now with Babel and NodeJS support!
How do you think this compares to REXS? I personally think REXS is a bit more readable. They're both good though. The thing that would really interest me would be a reverse compiler and neither project has that. I'd like a language to explain complicated regexes to me.

Introducing REXS: A language for writing regular expressions
That's a pretty neat example, and REXS actually does have something like this. The main reason is that you end up with a lot of unnecessary things (like commas, lambdas, etc) everywhere that make things a bit disorganized and hard to read.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing melody and REXS you can also consider the following projects:
pomsky - A new, portable, regular expression language
TypeCake - TypeCake is a language that compiles to TypeScript types. (WIP)
kleenexp - modern regular expression syntax everywhere with a painless upgrade path
Gwion - :musical_note: strongly-timed musical programming language
regex-generator - Generate regular expressions from sample texts.
