Reimplement RegExp in JavaScript

Explore the intricacies of reimplementing RegExp in JavaScript in this JSConf EU 2013 conference talk by Julian Viereck. Delve into the challenges of writing and debugging regular expressions, and discover how implementing the entire RegExp object in JavaScript can enhance visualization and simplify debugging. Learn about the parser, generator, and compiler components involved in this process. Examine concepts such as path trees, backtracking, loop protection, and Unicode support. Gain insights into integrating the reimplemented RegExp with JavaScript and understand the current status of this innovative project. For developers seeking to deepen their understanding of regular expressions and their implementation in JavaScript, this talk offers valuable insights and practical demonstrations.
