Show HN: Regex Derivatives (Brzozowski Derivatives)
Note that it's not difficult to (lazily or not) build a NFA using derivatives as well (with Antimirov's construction).

Super-expressive – Write regex in natural language
I'm familiar with standard (compact) regex syntax, but I've been using the above syntax recently in a couple small places. I'm a bit on the fence as to which is "better". The compact syntax is, of course, more compact. I think it's a very similar comparison between APL (which I've not used) and most other common programming languages.
One advantage of the expanded syntax is that it's a bit nicer to incorporate a string variable, e.g. "str some_string" vs. "/#{Regexp.escape(some_string)}/" (to borrow Ruby's syntax).
