Faster alternatives to Go's regexp library

  • We started off using Go's regexp library for our regex needs, but it wasn't made for our unique use case of running 40+ regular expressions over terabytes of data.

    Here's our experience benchmarking Go's regexp against Intel Hyperscan and Google re2, hope it's useful!

  • Not questioning anyone's use of Go but wouldn't a library written in C or C++ be able to do regex parsing the fastest?
