Regexps is another area where GoLang used to lag behind Python (for certain types of expressions?). Not sure if things have changed, but this issue is still open 4 years later: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/11646 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/11646 Not sure I fully understand the NFA vs DFA/re2 choices -- seem like the issue above conflicts with the comment below. Can someone clarify? From [1]: "Go has chosen to follow the re2 path (not surprising, since Russ Cox is a major author of both Go and re2). re2 has much better performance characteristics than some other regexp engines, in that it never has an exponential slowdown, but that comes at a cost for other regexps (https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/ https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/)."
