Wondering if someone could create a less tricky alternative to regex.
Cloudflare’s infamous outage was also one regex character off.
Regexng could result a longer string, but more human readable than plain old regex.
Basically regexng could be regex with more syntactic sugar.
There is a projekt out there that offers a more human-readable language that compiles to plain regex.

This is the only alternative I’ve ever seen. Good luck finding a working implementation.
