Comparison with Pomsky

[Aloso]

Hello Yoav,

(This is the continuation of this comment.)

I'm the maintainer of Pomksy. I wrote a page that compares Pomsky with several other tools and languages, including Melody. You can find it here.

Since I'm not all that familiar with Melody, I'd appreciate it if you could check that all the information about melody is correct, or if any part needs clarification. I put a lot of work into accumulating this data, but I want to be sure that I don't misrepresent your project, since I'm obviously biased.

Thank you in advance! And if you have any questions about Pomsky, feel free to ask!

Thanks for opening the issue @Aloso! I appreciate the heads up, will take a look soon and let you know if anything needs clarification / modification

Hey @Aloso!

I still need to go over the comparison in more detail, but two things I've noticed are:

1 - Melody currently has partial support for negated character sets (e.g. not ABC) as an unstable / beta feature

2 - It's worth noting that Melody supports using raw regular expressions (content within backticks) as a part of a larger Melody expression for cases where a feature is not yet implemented or tor any other reason you'd want to fall back to raw regular expressions, so if you need to use a specific unimplemented feature, that doesn't mean you can't use Melody

Thanks for the feedback! I updated the page now.

Does melody also support character sets that aren't negated? I find it odd that not ABC; works, but ABC; doesn't. Or am I expected to write the following, which is much more verbose?

either {
  'A';
  'B';
  'C';
}
