doublec: The last commit is from end 2016. Do you know if this approach was abandoned? Are there plans to get it into master?

sternmull: there are plans to get it into master - the compile time expression's rfc was from the same author and is part of the merging work. As I understand it anyway.

SeanTAllen: Sure. I think this is a very valuable feature for people coming from C++, for example the Eigen library heavily uses integers as type parameters to describe fixed size matrices. And as there is already much work done for pony i hope it gets finished :)

I'm pretty new to Pony but am enjoying it so far - one thing I'm trying to get working is backreference substitution using the regex pattern. I've found the replace function but a unable to get the second argument to reference a group from the match.
<SeanTAllen>
do you have a minimal example dangoldin?
<SeanTAllen>
if you could post a link to a pony playground example, that would help others understand better.
<dangoldin>
Ah will do - thanks
<SeanTAllen>
im leaving soon but someone can probably help. if you dont get an answer here, give the mailing list a try as well.

I used Perl years ago and remember it having some very complex regex functionality but completely forgot the syntax. This is really helpful so thanks. As you can all guess I'm just trying to hack together a simple Markdown to HTML utility.
