I'm pretty sure that's not as much of a straightforward as you think. Just Google "writing a compiler" and see what you get (the first result is pretty good). However, there are some good tools to help you do this in JavaScript, like Jison. Heck, even I wrote a tiny, not useful at all, probably broken, just for fun language with it (if I can do it, anyone can 😄 ).
