Is "regular" a technical term for a grammar?

Is "regular" a technical term for a grammar?

Reading the Go language specs, I read in the intro:
"The grammar is compact and regular, allowing for easy analysis by automatic tools such as integrated development environments."
Is the word "regular" here a technical term, or should it be interpreted just as a vague English word?
