Optimize the usage of regular expressions

[aldy505]

Some regular expressions that are currently on the /src/language directory are somewhat inefficient.

Take this as an example:

flourite/src/languages/clojure.ts

Lines 4 to 7 in 32bc6b7

	{ pattern: /^(\s+)?\(ns(\s+)(.*)(\))?$/, type: 'meta.module' },
	{ pattern: /^(\s+)?\(print(ln)?(\s+)(.*)(\))$/, type: 'keyword.print' },
	{ pattern: /^(\s+)?\((de)?fn(-)?(\s+)(.*)(\))?$/, type: 'keyword.function' },
	{ pattern: /^(\s+)?\((let|def)(\s+)(.*)(\))?$/, type: 'keyword.variable' },

That pattern might be optimized to /^\s*\(ns(\s+)(.*)(\))?$/ to minimize the steps needed to achieve the same result.

I believe there are more patterns like that, that can be optimized.
