RE2: a principled approach to regular expression matching - Google Open Source Blog
Fascinating. Wonder if Ruby might benefit from this... http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2010/03/re2-principled-approach-to-reg... Today, we released RE2 as an open source project. It's a mostly drop-in replacement for PCRE's C++ bindings and is available under a BSD-style license. See the RE2 project page for details.
Sounds interesting, but the project page says it's not good for back-references :) As some of you may know, we are rewriting String, Symbol and Regexp based on the ICU framework in a branch (called "icu"). The work is almost done at this point and will get merged into trunk soon. These changes have many advantages, mostly performance, thread-safety and Ruby compatibility related.
