FWIW there's also https://github.com/slevithan/regex https://github.com/slevithan/regex "JS regexes future.

From the docs: Highlights include support for insignificant whitespace and comments, atomic groups and possessive quantifiers (that can help you avoid ReDoS), subroutines and subroutine definition groups (that enable powerful subpattern composition), and context-aware interpolation of regexes, escaped strings, and partial patterns.
