I love the flourish of "in the world." I had never thought about it that way. Which makes me wonder if there are any regex engines that aren't in rebar that could conceivably be competitive with the top engines in rebar. I do maintain a WANTED list of engines[1], but none of them jump out to me except for maybe Nim's engine.
Of course, there's also the question of whether the benchmarks are representative enough to make such extrapolations. I don't have a good answer for that one. All models are wrong, but, some are useful.
