Yea, we're not talking about compilers, we're talking about lexers. Regex doesn't even make a little bit of sense in a compiler world. What lexer are you working with?

No.

I don't see looking for quick and easy wins is not a negative, nor is in opposition to understanding trade-offs.

So, what parses the regex in the lex, flex, Jison, etc...

They are more solid, but never up to date with new bits, so you're stuck managing your own curated list of ppa's.

Interesting how the flowchart and the article differ a fair bit.
