    Here's a javascript library that lets you generate your own language that compiles to Javascript. https://pegjs.org/ It's a compiler generator. You can either use the command line tool and feed it your grammar (You have to write that) and use the generated parser.js which can then run your program, or use peg.js as a dependency and generate your parser at run time before feeding it your program.
