Re2c
One fun project in this vein is to DIY something similar to this. To simplify things initially, you can use NFAs, along with an existing library to parse the regex syntax yourself.
The aha moment comes when you see how regex syntax compiles down to various configurations of automata. Couple that with the fact that automata are made to be composed together well, and the result is beautiful in a way that you rarely see in production code.
Here's my stab at it in Rust: https://github.com/mattgreen/lexer/tree/master/src/nfa
