Oh great. A new flavour of regex, but it's less portable and more verbose. https://xkcd.com/927/

but it’s less portable and more verbose

you misspelled "less obtuse and more expressive"

Also it doesn't compete with regex. It's an abstraction layer. You know, the thing programmers have been building since the dawn of programming to make everyone's lives easier. There's a reason why everyone who has the option to has stopped working directly with assembly and C.
