It looks like a tool for generating regexes via machine learning techniques to match highly complex targets.

Does anyone know a good browser-based game that trains you to do regexes well?

Are there any interesting datasets that you have converted to regexes with this?

Inspiring post - I'll be sure to put extra thought into how I write my regexes from here on out.

FSMs are usually doing one step on demand (at least in all the network applications) or whole thing at once in regexes and parsing.

Do more analysis on regexes to find literal prefixes.

From a purely technical perspective, that sounds really neat -- but from a maintainability perspective, it sounds like even more of a nightmare than complex regexes usually are.

Zipcodes would be something I'd like to see available as regexes.
