While a language like Raku (formerly known as Perl 6) is unlikely to catch up in the current landscape, it did bring a lot of improvements to regular expressions (link to section that starts to use interesting examples [1]). Way back somewhere in the 2010s when I was still keeping an eye on Perl 6, I was kind of hoping that all these improvements would make their way into some kind of PCRE v3 that all other tools that already use PCRE would switch to. Would have been nice. [1] https://docs.raku.org/language/regexes#Alternation:_|| https://docs.raku.org/language/regexes#Alternation:_||
