Lua Patterns is a powerfull and flexible regular strings language, but humankind deserves something a bit more readable.

The language you've linked is a nice one. I personally thought about glob or a similar language. Also I think it should be written in Lua.

In Lua?? Why?

Btw, I hadn't heard of glob before, so I'm glad you had already thought to use its syntax. globwalk looks like it's gone through several beneficial iterations

In Lua?? Why?

Well, flexibility maybe. I think I'm still defining that line between what should be in Rust and what in Lua.
