It seems like the value of the platform is in the well-classified data made by the community in the same way that emacs "killer feature" is the bazillions of community .el extensions. Is there a Github or some defacto standardize

Mastering Regular Expressions really is the seminal text, but I highly suggest reading the O'Reilly Sed/awk book as well. They include full history behind the evolution of the original line editor ed -> sed & g/re&#x2F

Haha, that was my comment! Glad you liked it. Never thought it'd show up on HN. I normally don't comment on Quanta, but there were so many half-informed remarks propagating misinformation that I felt compelled to make not one, but
