The post discusses a new approach to text editing using transductive regular expressions, which aim to create a more natural syntax than traditional regular expressions. Comments reveal a mix of appreciation and skepticism, as users share their experience with finite state transducers and provide feedback on syntax clarity and operator precedence. There's a strong desire for practical examples to demonstrate how this new method improves upon existing regular expressions for editing tasks. Some commenters expressed confusion regarding the project's grammar and intended functionality, specifically how substitutions are processed in provided examples. Additionally, users highlighted their experiences with regex and how the introduced syntax could be more intuitive, especially for users accustomed to different tools and platforms.
