ESLint: under the hood
Now, those concepts are a whole entire world to explore, and this is out of the scope of this article. I suggest the reading of the Chapters 4, 5 and 6 of the book Crafting Interpreters by Robert Nystrom for a wider (but still practical) understanding of those subjects. Another practical great resource to look at is The SuperTiny Compiler. To explore them from a theorical point of view, you can find A LOT of resources from books or courses online.

GCC uses GCC to compile itself
I am currently writing a much more intricate version of the Super Tiny Compiler (https://github.com/jamiebuilds/the-super-tiny-compiler) in Rust, only I plan on handling many basic operations, essentially a compiler for a MUCH simpler version of Go. Great project idea btw, for anyone who wants to explore compilers. But in doing so, have really found a new respect for just what is going on when you gcc -o garbageprogram mytrashcode.c

how would you make a programming language if you were a complete beginner?
Here, at least take this floatie: https://github.com/jamiebuilds/the-super-tiny-compiler

Any good resources for reading code?
Outside of this, I recently learned about The Super Tiny Compiler which was a project written to be read. Mind you, it has a vast amount of comments, which may be more of a leg-up than you're asking for.

Ask HN: Guidance on writing a source to source compiler (transpiler)
You could start here:
https://github.com/jamiebuilds/the-super-tiny-compiler
That converts from lisp-like to javascript. Really though this is a big field, and there are lots of resources out there.
To get started look at your input language; you'll need to lex and parse that. Then massage the parsed structure into the appropriate output.
You can see me convert brainfuck to C, or x86 assembly language here:

Abstract Syntax Trees and Practical Applications in JavaScript
Why do we then have other JavaScript parsers like babel parser, swc parser, acorn, espree and the likes since JavaScript engines have their own internal parsers?

Regex for any js string for representing an object or array containing any number of array or object?
If you're trying to determine if a string is valid Javascript then your best bet is to use a JS parser like Acorn. Trying to DIY parsing with just regex is a good way to end up incredibly frustrated.

What is Babel? And SWC?
Behind Babel is created by an Australian developer Sebastian McKenzie and now consists a small team of contributors. Babel also makes uses a polyfill library called core-js, which in turn uses a JavaScript parser, acorn.

🕶 What it takes to build a Static Analysis tool
At line 3, we import parseScript from meriyah which is a JavaScript parser (could have been babel, acorn, swc, etc doesn't matter for our use case as long as they correctly implement the spec).

[AskJS] What is your preferred tooling when working with JS ASTs?
A simple starting point is Acorn with estree-walker. Not sure if you'll need more advanced functionality but that pair has worked well for my usage. It's also the combo that Svelte uses internally.
