is there any proposal for compile-time checked regex literals like in Node?

[trevjones]

you could create it with a simple annotation processor

[pakoito]

agreed! It'd be cool to see it rolled up into the language tho

I wonder if this would be very useful, Idea already complains about them and when you use a regex you typically compile it first thing at runtime anyway.

@pakoito for implementation details check "How to Kontribute" talk from KotlinConf once the video will be available. Talk covered Compiler/IDE warnings as an example which sounds very applicable to what you want to do
