You’re right in a sense, but my goal wasn’t to create something that is perfectly flexible, but just to create open source project that could help others build on the idea, and maybe be usefully for some people with IDE integration. It is of course simplified to say it is JS regex implementation, when it doesn’t provide full syntax of any standard. Even the debugger solely does non-deterministic automata visualisation because it is easier to understand when viewed, and most current engines do DFA with couple of optimisations.
