I already remember this (()) hack works, but I do not know why :) Can it be rewritten in a more readable way? Another occurrence is also later on.

For me "let name = function () { ... }" is more readable.

It works because the brackets make it explicit that the variable assignment is supposed to happen before the cast to boolean (that is needed to evaluate the condition), i.e. it is made clear that the = is not a typo for ==.

One could rewrite it as 

while (!!(m = re.exec(js)))

or move the assignment inside the loop, but neither of those two options make it more readable imho.

I made the change, but arrow functions are becoming quite common ;)
