Finite State Morphology was mentioned in the comments and was new to me. It really does look much more useful than regular expressions at the expense of some verbosity. The way that FSM is inherently a forward/backward process seems super elegant and it's more readable (at first read) than regex's. Anyone have insight why they aren't more common? https://web.stanford.edu/~laurik/fsmbook/home.html https://web.stanford.edu/~laurik/fsmbook/home.html
