I’ve seen a couple of languages (namely CoffeeScript and LessCSS) that are built on Javascript.
Are there tutorials anywhere for writing languages/parsers with Javascript?
Jison is modeled on the GNU Bison parser generator. It takes a language grammar in Bison-like or JSON format and outputs a Javascript parser for the language. If you’re wanting to make an interpreter that’s based on on another well-known language, there’s probably a Bison grammar around somewhere you can tweak for Jison.
I’ve found it very straightforward to get started on a from-scratch DSL.
