He's incredibly responsive too. He just answered my question about an hour after it was asked... on a Sunday evening.

Slightly off topic; is anyone aware of any Lezer grammar for regex? I've not been able to find any in the FOSS world. I suspect Regex101 has one, bit it's sadly closed source.

Yeah, this happened to us too a couple of times. Once, we asked for a clarification and he took it as a sensible requirement, made the changes and took it to master in just over an evening.

The next day we just had to update our package to the latest version and marvel at his response time.

Have you checked the js grammar? It has a regex grammar, though not sure if that's what you are looking for
