gollark: Yes.
gollark: osmarkslisp™ is probably TC while regex is… probably a "context-free" grammar?
gollark: So if you replace the osmarkslisp™ parser with json.decode and work out how to fix the string/atom distinction given that, and add string manipulation functions, parsing regex should be doable.
gollark: Well, Lisps are typically encoded in S-expressions, but it's entirely possible to have an utterly homoiconic program in JSON instead.
