gollark: My thing works by building a weirdly structured finite-state machine which matches permutations of "regex", then converting it to a different flat one usable by the `greenery` library, then using it to very slowly convert that into a regex.
gollark: I made a regex which matches all anagrams of regex: `e(e(g(rx|xr)|r(gx|xg)|x(gr|rg))|g(e(rx|xr)|r(ex|xe)|x(er|re))|r(e(gx|xg)|g(ex|xe)|x(eg|ge))|x(e(gr|rg)|g(er|re)|r(eg|ge)))|g(e(e(rx|xr)|r(ex|xe)|x(er|re))|r(e(ex|xe)|xe{2})|x(e(er|re)|re{2}))|r(e(e(gx|xg)|g(ex|xe)|x(eg|ge))|g(e(ex|xe)|xe{2})|x(e(eg|ge)|ge{2}))|x(e(e(gr|rg)|g(er|re)|r(eg|ge))|g(e(er|re)|re{2})|r(e(eg|ge)|ge{2}))`.
gollark: Depends on the database you're using and what the driver code does. In general no.
gollark: ... what?
gollark: It's probably fine if it isn't running anything hugely important and provides funlolz™.
