Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

C Is the Greenest Programming Language
Looking at the benchmark where C++ is worst compared to other languages, it's depending on the library used. I would guess if they used Google's re2 Regex library instead of Boost's, the result would be different.

what does this + do in the regular expression "(^A-Za-z)+"
That page says it just includes "some of the most common special characters", and following the link to the Examples page in turn includes a link to the full list.

On a Great Interview Question
Python uses backtracking, so this probably isn't O(n), especially with the ability to choose the dictionary.
But with there are non-backtracking matchers which would make this O(n). Here's re2 from https://github.com/google/re2 :

Regex: is there a difference between * and {0,}, as well as + and {1,}?
I am currently working with Regex, specifically Re2, and was wondering if there is a real difference between the above expressions for repeated sub-regex.

First release of SPVM::File::Spec - complex regular expressions, file tests, SPVM::Cwd, inheritance
I ported Google RE2, a regular expression library, to SPVM as Resource::Re2, and created SPVM::Regex, a wrapper for it.
-
SPVM::File::Basename is released. This is the first module of SPVM using regular expressions.
I searched for I found that there is a Perl compatible regular expression called Google RE2. It is written in C++, and with Google RE2, I can use Perl-compatible regular expressions as a library.

Ruby 3.2.0 Is from Another Dimension
Yes, but there is an interesting clarification here. RE2 has used the "caching" approach documented in the Ruby bug ticket linked for quite some time (since its birth?): https://github.com/google/re2/blob/954656f47fe8fb505d4818da1...
It is mentioned only briefly in Cox's article on regex matching in the wild. Look for the word "bitstate": https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp3.html
I didn't know Perl had implemented this trick too.
The paper[1] cited in the Ruby bug ticket was published very recently. When I first read the Ruby bug ticket, I immediately wondered how they sidestepped the memory use problem. The paper's abstract seems to suggest there is some technique for doing so, as it rebuffs the idea of doing "full" memoization. Alas, I do not have access the paper. (Which is fucking ridiculous.)

Zed is now open source
The homepage has a benchmark that compares Zed's "insertion latency" to other editors, and this is the description:
> Open input.rs at the end of line 21 in rust-lang/regex. Type z 10 times, measure how long it takes for each z to display since hitting the z key.
Could someone clarify what that means? My interpretation of that was to go to https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/blob/master/regex-cli/arg... and start typing 'z' at the end of line 21, but that doesn't seem to make any sense. I guess that repo got refactored and those instructions are out of date?

CryptoFlow: Building a secure and scalable system with Axum and SvelteKit - Part 3
We also used the avenue to sluggify the question title. We used regex to fish out and replace all occurrences of punctuation and symbol characters with an empty string and using the itertools crate, we joined the words back together into a single string, where each word is separated by a hyphen ("-").

Command Line Rust is a great book
Command-Line Rust taught me how to use crates like clap, assert_cmd, and regex. I felt lost before because I didn't know about Rust's ecosystem--which is arguably as important as the language itself. Also, looking up and comparing libraries is a tiring task! blessed.rs is nice but Command-Line Rust really saved me from analysis paralysis.

Common Rust Lifetime Misconceptions
burntsushi actually regrets making regex replace return a Cow: https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/issues/676#issuecomment-6.... I’m glad it does, and wish it took an impl Into> there, for the reasons discussed in the issue, but burntsushi has a lot more experience of the practical outcomes of this. Just something more to think about.

Advent of Code 2023 is nigh
I'm not familiar with the AoC problem. You might be able to. But RegexSet doesn't give you match offsets.
You can drop down to regex-automata, which does let you do multi-regex search and it will tell you which patterns match[1]. The docs have an example of a simple lexer[2]. But... that will only give you non-overlapping matches.
You can drop down to an even lower level of abstraction and get multi-pattern overlapping matches[3], but it's awkward. The comment there explains that I had initially tried to provide a higher level API for it, but was unsure of what the semantics should be. Getting the starting position in particular is a bit of a wrinkle.

Regex Engine Internals as a Library
https://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/fall19/cos226/l... and https://kean.blog/post/lets-build-regex are excellent introductions to implementing a (very) simplified regex engine: construct a nondetermistic finite state automaton for the regex, then perform a graph search on the resulting digraph; if the vertex corresponding to your end state is reachable, you have a match.
I think this exercise is valuable for anyone writing regexes to not only understand that there's less magic than one might think, but also to visualize a bunch of balls bouncing along an NFA - that bug you inevitably hit in production due to catastrophic backtracking now takes on a physical meaning!
Separately re: the OP, https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/issues/822 (and specifically BurntSushi's comment at the very end of the issue) adds really useful context to the paragraph in the OP about niche APIs: https://blog.burntsushi.net/regex-internals/#problem-request... - searching with multiple regexes simultaneously against a text is both incredibly complex and incredibly useful, and I can't wait to see what the community comes up with for this pattern!
