More JS tools should provide actionable hints when reporting errors. Especially important for begineers. Shown is an example from a tool I'm working on.pic.twitter.com/Ox3sFlhcz2

Hey :) I'd be really interested to learn more about how you are able to find the right column and character of the issue! Do you parse the code yourself and track the tokens?
It’s a custom parser, I keep track of the current function location in state and use that to infer the hint.

And the issue itself? Is it based on the syntax error giving you the column?

To explain my context a bit: I'm trying to create a linter on php, and I only have tokens and a tree, which makes it difficult for me to find issues precise columns
