Nice, remind me of a custom Regex engine i built some years ago in JS while trying to build a fast & small lexer, it does not support ? but +, - and sub-rules, it is around 60 LOC if I remind, mostly built by "accident", it work with JSON as input and output a finite state automaton (compiled version ?)
