If you see "if x matches .some(let y)" or "if x is let y?" then there's some immediate context for what's going on the first time you see it. An =~ or ~= operator is less clear as it looks like a weird assignment operator (like +=), doesn't mean the same thing as the tilde operator on its own; the only clue to it being a comparison is that it's used in an if condition.


Bingo!, you just formulated what I felt but could not put in words just yet.
