I wrote a JS/TS lib that adds support for RegExp composition, set opperations, atomic groups and arbitrary bounds.

... and FWIW no one seems to care one bit about it ...

(this would have been an edit, but I'm out of the window)

At least back in my day, thread hi-jacking was kinda frowned upon. You kids are like aliens to me.

When I posted, the submission had 123 points, and nsajko’s critical comment was at the top of the thread.

My lib’s show HN which addresses most of his concerns, royally got 5 votes.

Given that Rulex was obviously a success, I didn’t feel like my comment would take from them.

Also, the discrepancy between the upvotes on that comment and the lack of uptick for compose-regexp felt interesting to point out
