The second post in my series on #guile #regex for #guix packagers:

The last post in my series on #guile regular expressions from a #guix packager perspective. This covers the advanced topics of alternation, grouping/capturing and back-references. Also, it's time to deal with backslash escaping and why regexs often look like a symbol salad of tomfoolery! https://www.futurile.net/2025/05/10/guile-scheme-regular-expressions-for-guix-grouping-escaping/ 3/3
