As much as I'm appeased to hear this it's isn't simply "faster then V8".
V8 one is very fast in general case (JIT compiler aids in that) and I
think would come out as winer more often then std.regex.
What is closer to truth is that typically std.regex is within about 5
top well-known engines and it's beats the rest of competition on some
patterns including in certain popular benchmarks such as regex-dna.
For instance it typically obliterates PCRE, infinitely so on Unicode
patterns (I never had patience to let it finish) .
With that being said there are many things to improve in std.regex
speed-wise, sadly I haven't been able to tell about it at DConf.
I see, thanks for the correction.
