Chinatown.js Talk Submission

Talk Title: Parsing and Unparsing JS

Talk Description: Ever wondered how tools like Typescript or Eslint are able to understand the code you write? This talk is a high level walkthrough of how parsers transform raw source code into Abstract Syntax Trees that can be used for things like static typing and code formatting. We'll use Heket (a library I wrote for creating custom parser generators) to parse JavaScript source code... directly in JS! Finally, we'll transform the AST from the parser back into its raw source code form.
