Oniguruma was a big roadblock for me on Chromebooks too.

Ideally, I'd have liked to have a version of VS Code that could be released to the Chrome Web Store, but regex is so labyrinthine in its edge cases that dropping in any other implementation was just inciting hatred from the editor.

Ultimately I looked at cross-compiling Oniguruma to WebAssembly to see how far I could get with this, and if that didn't work, NaCl.

I didn't get too far down this road as it was taking me away from the core goal of the project, and there's one of me.
