I have never run into a problem where RegEx was needed on Graal and could personally care less whether or not it's added. I'm just asking the people in this thread who have "been in situations where RegEx would have useful" to support their arguments by stating what those situations were.

There don't have to be any situations. It can be said that a scripting language really isn't complete without regular expressions.
