> Hi all, I released a new package, [Automa.jl](https://github.com/BioJulia/Automa.jl), which is a set of tools to compile regular expressions written in Julia DSL into optimized Julia code. Here is a short example to tokenize a string into numerical literals from [example/numbers.jl](https://github.com/BioJulia/Automa.jl/blob/master/example/numbers.jl): import Automa import Automa.RegExp: @re\_str const re = Automa.RegExp # Describe patterns in regular expression. oct = re"0o[0-7]+" dec = re"[-+]?[0-9]+" hex = re"0x[0-9A-Fa-f]+" prefloat = re"[-+]?([0-9]+\.[0-9]\*|[0-9]\*\.[0-9]+)" float =…
