    To me the main advantage would be that it makes regexes more readable, not more writable. Integrating melody in to a project seems like it would add more indirection which would make it more inconvenient to read. Feels like this would be more useful as a rust proc macro for example so that you can actually have it alongside your code in a convenient way rather than have it compile to ES6 regexes.

    This is neat… will have to try it out next time I have a need.

    I have to admit though, since ChatGPT came along… making regex has been infinity easier. Game changer.

      Would be nice for GPT to spit out melody code so it’s easier to verify it. I assume that there isn’t enough training data for it to work well though.
