Hello,
I'm just curious about the status of the important project described by
"JEP draft: Predictable regex performance" [1].
Afaiu, there are mentions about:
* Using the native re2 library [2] via JNI, with the cons that usage
becomes kind of unnatural, like "closing" the pattern to release native
resources.
* Possibly porting re2 to Java, but it seems rather big, several kLOC.
* Adopting/adapting the incomplete and unmaintained re2j [3] Java
implementation of re2.
* Using the sregex project [4], but it's unclear to me what makes it
substantially different from re2.
Less clear is whether the project is still exploring various
alternatives in addition to the above ones or has started to converge
towards a preferred choice.
Greetings
Raffaello
