        Awesome idea, will definitely take it into consideration when that feature is available. Melody actually has a VSCode extension with highlighting and snippets, could be added to that

        Yeah, I think it makes little sense to have another programming language to create a regex but it sounds like a great regex inspect tool.

        Keep everything in regex, want to change something complicated? You can translate it into this language, tweak it, then translate it back!

          maybe it makes sense if you’re working on a project that uses a ton of different regexes and really depends on them, idk what kind of project that would be though

          maybe an html parser or web browser? /s

          seriously though this would be cool in a compiled language if it’s built in, but adding another build step to transpile your regexes might be a bit annoying especially if you’re using an interpreted language
