Melody is a language that compiles to regular expressions and aims to be more easily readable and maintainable - GitHub - yoav-lavi/melody: Melody is a language that compiles to regular expressions...
if it can only be used to create regexes, and all programs compile to regexes, then it is a regex flavor in itself.
And let’s not kid ourselves, regexes are not that hard. They can look cryptic, but in most cases they’re not really that hard to understand.
all this does is make it much more verbose and introduce the HUGE inconvenience of a separate compiler for regexes, since regexes are typically embedded within other files written in other languages that this compiler can’t understand. So somehow regexes would end up needing their own file.
