    Ok thanks for the clarification.

    I would argue, the gold standard of regex would be perlre or even re from python. I never heard one discouraging using them. Do you know sth I don’t?

      Both Perl and Python use backtracking regex engines and are thus susceptible to similar problems as discussed in the OP.
