About:
Pomsky is a modern, portable regular expression language that compiles to native regex syntax for various engines including PCRE, JavaScript, and Python. It provides a more readable and less error-prone alternative to traditional regex by offering a cleaner syntax with features like variables and named groups. The tool aims to simplify complex pattern matching tasks while maintaining compatibility with existing regex ecosystems.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform compatibility (compiles to multiple regex engines)
  • Improved syntax with variables and named groups
  • Compile-time validation and error checking
  • Zero-dependency binary
Use Cases:
  • Simplifying complex regex patterns in software projects
  • Validating regex patterns across different programming languages
  • Teaching regular expressions with a more readable syntax
Alternatives:
  • regex – Traditional regex is engine-specific and harder to read
  • VerbalExpressions – Builder pattern approach, different syntax style
