Comment on The Regular Expression Visualizer, Simulator and Cross-Compiler Toolparent

That's really impressive work. What flavor of regular expressions do you follow there?

I tried to follow a middle-of-the-road works mostly everywhere made up flavour. Here is a grammar for it:

I may add to it in the future if there is enough interest. At the moment it doesn't support a few common things like word breaks and backreferences, but I don't think it'd be too hard to add.

Any chance of open sourcing it so we can contribute some regex features to your awesome project? :)
