Exactly one year on from Oniguruma's archival on GitHub and fancy-regex is in a pretty good position to act as a compatible, memory-safe alternative.
Since the previous release, fancy-regex now has support for subroutine calls - although relative recursion level backreferences are still currently unsupported.
There also a PR with an experimental optimization, which may get released soon.
