Let's Build a Regex Engine
It's still really early stages, but I am actively working on a regexp engine[0] in Zig which aims to blur the line between regex engines and advanced parsing algorithms used to parse programming languages.
I am quite optimistic that due to Zig's portability and cross compilation, it shouldn't be too hard to expose it as a nice C library and use it from other languages soon.

Let's Build a Regex Engine
I have a (mostly abandoned, since I couldn't find an organization to cbe early adopter in the time I gave myself to work on it) side project with this aim. I spent a lot of time thinking about language design, from the perspective of enabling adoption of a new language when an existing one has so much network effect:
