The theme with these MIT announcements seems to be HCA: Hope, Certainty, and Assuredness by analogy to FUD and with similar use of misrepresentation, simplification, and appeal to authority.

While the generation engine is written in python (source linked in another comment), the engine itself doesn't make use of existing regex libraries because they solve a different problem (deterministic matching vs nondeterministic generatio

It look like rubular just shows you example matches out of text you've already typed in (the same situation you have when playing with any regex matching library directly), whereas regexio generates matches you might not expect out of the b

Here is the source to the python meat of this project: http://pastie.org/1180230 The general idea is that it is a command line tool that reads a regex as input (along with a number of examples to generate). It parses the regex into an abs

Heh, its a matter of implementing a declarative model of each of the different regex engines you'd like to select. If would be fantastic if it existed, wanna try?

"Generate all" and "efficient" seems doomed at some level. Considering /[01]+/, there are clearly an exponential number of matches given some given max length. The expression itself provides a nice summary of the generative space it implies

Interesting module, but different target application. Part of the core of my generation process is remembering which parts of the example match came from which piece of your original expression so that (someday) there could be some nice mou

I purposely punted on inverted character classes because they brought up a major usability issue that I didn't have a quick solution for. The expression /[^abc]/ should match '@', ' ', and 'q', but, by the numbers, the majority of generated

I've thought about how to do a kind of regex-induction, where you give it matches and it gives you one or more expressions that will match it. But, after some thinking, even with a reasonable language bias, getting useful expression comes d

I made this tool over a year ago as a proof of concept. It doesn't support all features (like negations inside of character classes), but it should demonstrate the benefit that a tool like this would give you. I'd be interested in helping s

Programming, as a whole, is far larger than any one person could come to comprehend in a single lifetime (imagine it being 1000x bigger). And to make matters worse, it is continually growing more complex at a rate no person could follow eit

More than 10 years in (implies mastery, right?) I still search all the time. However, I'm not looking for solutions per se. Instead, I'm just looking to refresh myself on the available building blocks (whether it be the API or whatever synt

One of the big reasons to build the DSL in the first place is to let the host language's syntax help you spot problems in your query. Syntax errors can be spotted from editor-provided syntax highlighting directly or slightly later when the

The intention, over the next year or so, is to hook this tech up to an interactive game world (as opposed to generating English text). As the player makes choices, more and more constraints are added to the story generator while possibiliti
