Lark without recursion

[ThatXliner]

I like Lark's syntax. It should be possible for Lark to be able to compile recursion-less grammars into a regex, right? I want to be able to use it as a way to make maintainable regexes.

If you only use terminals, it will already do just that.

Including detecting recursion and throwing the appropriate error.

Perhaps this has something to do with priority? I doubt it.

Is WS \s* or \s+ ?

My tip: Debug with small examples, it will be much easier.

WS: /\s*/

In the regexp code you wrote

    return _group(r"\s+".join(map(_group, args)))

Oh. Hmm.
